If you're looking to build genuine connections without the pressure of networking, The Nonprofit Hive is the place to be.

Founded by Tasha Van Vlack, The Hive has built a community that offers nonprofit professionals the chance to meet one another and collaborate, free of charge. Since joining , their virtual meet-ups have grown to include folks from around the world looking for a moment to pause and reflect on their work with others.

“Idealist Days immediately resonated with me because they center action, reflection, and community, not just intention,” Tasha says. “I was drawn to the idea of offering something that felt accessible and human, especially for people who might be exploring social impact for the first time or feeling disconnected from it.”

This month, we're focused on taking a step back, halting the endless to-do list, and focusing on what actually matters. For this to have an impact, however, we need to *actually* pause.

We get this is an "easier said than done" type of situation, which is why we're dedicating a full issue of Idealist's Work in Progress newsletter to mindfulness. In it, we'll share how we're practicing mindfulness intentionally, as well as some free and low-cost resources to reduce the burden on your wallet.
