SYNCHRONiCITY CENTER

We have developed several free courses teaching mindfulness meditation and core Secular Buddhist Philosophy. Currently offering various dates for Beginner's Introduction to Buddhism & Mindfulness Meditation 8 Week Course in addition to development of Intermediate & Advanced Study Courses of Buddhism & Mindfulness Meditation. Space is limited so Pre-Registration is Required. Please contact us by email for information, follow us on facebook or sign up for our newsletter on this site for dates and future class offerings.

We offer one day Mindfulness Meditation Workshops/Seminars of various lengths available to the public and for presentation with corporate sponsorship. Check our calendar for dates and locations or contact us via email for information on corporate workshop options and Donation structure. Also in development are workshops on Mindful Eating, Nutrition, Exercise and Weight Loss as well as the possible development of online live video conference workshops.

Helping those in dire need is a strong desire for our organization. We would like to develop a mindfulness based skills and meditation program targeted to helping those with substance abuse problems seeking help or who are actively in recovery or rehabilitation programs.

Additionally, we would like to bring these teachings into local prisons as well, for inmates that may benefit from the practice of mindfulness and meditation during their time of rehabilitation.

Another section of the population we believe that could benefit from our teachings are Veterans and First Responders that may be suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or simply the intense stress of their job requirements. We would like to develop a mindfulness based program specifically targeting these individuals that could help them to cope and reduce the effect of their stress related symptoms through meditation practice.

We plan to organize and hold meditation retreats of various lengths and specific to a range of skill levels. They may be held local to the Greenville, SC area or at other remote or nearby destinations. They will be based on different themes or teachings and range from one day to several days or even weeks and incorporate guest speakers and teachers. We are exploring the possibility of incorporating mission work as well as an altruistic option for some retreats and locations. We would also like the retreats to be accessible to all that are interested and eventually build a scholarship fund to help enable those with financial difficulty to still be able to participate and enrich their practice.

Our vision is to eventually be able to build a physical multi-disciplinary center that can accommodate retreats of various types and lengths with a selection of desired accommodations ranging from minimalistic to luxurious. In addition to the space for retreats, the center would serve to provide space for all of our other programs targeting total health: Mind, Body & Spirit. Offerings including our educational classes, meditation groups, workshops, yoga & exercise classes, drop in meditation areas, special guest speaker events and integrative medicine consultations. (We would additionally like to offer childcare options during meditation sessions). The construction of this center will only be realized through generous donations and other funding we hope to one day secure.

Both Johnny and Roberta have written, produced and recorded several guided meditations intended for home use by students enrolled in their courses as well as other meditation practitioners and the general public.

The meditations are on various subjects utilizing different techniques and can be helpful to beginners and experienced meditators alike. These recorded tracks can be found for free on Sound Cloud as well as the free meditation app "Insight Timer" under their teaching profiles.

Additionally, they are available to write and record custom meditations for both adults and children in order to assist with personalized goals of an individual.

As part of our community outreach efforts, we are interested in bringing Mindfulness and Meditation education into our schools at age appropriate levels. Teaching children mindfulness and meditation is one of the greatest gifts they can be given in this day and age. It teaches them skills and gives them tools they can utilize throughout their whole lives.

Additionally, we would like to develop special programs for children diagnosed with ADD, ADHD and spectrum disorders. Mindfulness techniques can have the ability to assist children with these special needs by providing them with additional helpful coping mechanisms.
