Richmond Outdoors Coalition

Inner City Bliss is proud to partner with the Richmond Outdoors Coalition to bring consistent school based mindfulness programming to youth.

Through this partnership we provide twice weekly sessions throughout the entire school year at Nystrom Elementary School in Richmond. This sustained engagement creates the conditions for real impact by building trust, strengthening relationships, and supporting long term student growth.

We integrate mindfulness practices with the Mafanikio Get Smart Formula created by Rev. Shumake. This combined approach supports students in developing focus, emotional awareness, discipline, and self belief in and out of the classroom.

Students engage in meditation, mindful movement, yoga, and mindful communication while learning practical tools to navigate stress, stay present, and respond with intention.

This partnership reflects a shared commitment to consistent access, community based support, and youth development.

We are grateful to the Richmond Outdoors Coalition for investing in this work and expanding opportunities for young people across Richmond.
