Our Mission
For the past several years, it has been our dream to visit, document, and share with the world how mindfulness centers and communities have developed, overcome challenges, and thrive in society. We share our research findings through photos, video, articles, and a book, so that others can learn about and replicate these models themselves.

A Bit More About Each of Us
David Viafora
At 39, David spends half his life on the road offering retreats, romancing Sanghas, and teaching other humans how to regain contact with the miracle of life. The year’s other half, he’s at home with best friends and steadily building an up-and-coming world class retreat center known as MorningSun, an adolescent community of all-star practitioners growing at hormonal speed. David spent about four years going for full enlightenment in Plum Village Monastery, but after slipping off the robe, he found blue jeans and long hair a more stylish path to happiness. Since 24 years old, he’s started half a dozen local mindfulness communities, several which are still thriving today, and mentors young adult mindfulness facilitators across the US.
