The Zen Project - Expert Impact

Corinne Gardner,

The Zen Project

Met with Harriet Hastings

The Zen Project is a mobile studio and community space. We have converted an American school bus and are on a mission to make all things zen accessible to all.

We visit community spaces, workplaces, festivals, schools and universities where we run 11 minute micro Zen Sessions. From breathwork to guided meditations, we have something for everyone.

We are here to create calm amongst the chaos, a recent report from Mind revealed more than 76% of people now have a personal experience with mental health problems and over half of the population is suffering with anxiety. Now more than ever we need to find ways to tackle these challenges and that’s where we come in, we are here to help.

Harriet shared some extremely helpful insights to help our social enterprise. We learnt a lot in the time that we had and left the mentoring session with some great ideas to take away and implement to grow our business. Harriet has helped us see things in a slightly different way and has left us feeling very optimistic for the future of our social enterprise!
