Blog Construction
Project details
What we need
- A customized WordPress blog that becomes a brand platform to engage and inspire supporters
- A training session on blog usage, including how to publish great blogs and manage content
What we have in place
- Dr. Deborah Norris, Executive Director of The Mindfulness Center has chosen to personally be the contact for this project, and to work closely with the Professional volunteer. We have a website with an existing audience, as well as a community of people who use TMC's resources. We have Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and other social media presence as well.
We have sample written content ready to go, and videos being produced at this moment.
We have a logo; target audience and specific goals, along with comparative blogs to use as models.
How this will help
This project will save us $2,000 , allowing us to provide free wellness services to 30 veterans, children, and people with cancer who suffer from pain.
A Blog will help The Mindfulness Center grow in our online presence and as a national leader in mindfulness education, practice and research. This blog will help others to learn the value of mindfulness practices, and will establish TMC as a thought leader. Our followers are currently worldwide, and we would like to be responsive to their interests in mindfulness.

Our mission
The Mindfulness Center is dedicated to bringing mindfulness to all dimensions of life. Mindfulness includes meditation, mindfulness in health, lifestyle and community, and mindfulness in sustainable living on the earth. Through research, education and practice, we strive to promote optimal well-being and a sustainable lifestyle. In this mission, we know true joy in life.
What we do
1. We empower people by teaching mindfulness and other self-care mind-body practices.
2. We provide services such as yoga therapy, acupuncture, medical massage and much more for people with specific physical and mental health conditions.
3. We provide intensive training and workshops for people who want to learn the use of meditation, yoga and other mind-body therapies for treatment of people with special needs. Our graduates are now working in hospitals, schools and even prisons.
4. We conduct scientific research on the clinical benefits of mindfulness and other mind-body therapies, evaluating the mechanisms of action and best practices.Clinical trials test promising new treatments for children in pain, and veterans with PTSD, chronic pain and TBI. The Mindfulness Center maintains a strong clinical trial program, led by our Executive Director. Dr. Norris has research appointments at Children's National Medical Center, the Veterans Affairs Medical Center and is Psychologist-in-Residence at American University. The Mindfulness Center is dedicated to continuing rigorous research so that we can learn about and offer people every option for recovery and improved quality of life.
Testimonials
Vish was awesome at building our Blog site. His communications skills were excellent, he was patient and kind through the entire process, and he made this project more simple than we could have ever imagined. It was a joy to work with Vish, and I would eagerly work with him again.
It was a very nice and pleasant experience working with Debbie. She made the requirements very clear and easy for me to follow. I hope I get a chance to contribute more towards the Mindfulness Center organization in the future.
