Mission, Vision, Motto, and Goals

Perfectly Here is non-secular.

About Us

Perfectly Here is a dba of Mindful Valley, established in August 2007. We came into existence to teach Mindfulness-based life skills to families, individuals, and corporations. We established a 501C3 Non-profit status in 2015 when we opened a Mindfulness center in Tarzana, California. Throughout the past fifteen years, our curricula went through a tremendous evolutionary process to match the needs of the time. We’ve come to realize that human development lacks some pertinent knowledge and skills that could make the difference between being stuck in unhappiness and planetary destruction and living fully within an interdependent reality of life.

Our Mission:

Our mission is to raise Life Intelligence and empower humanity to live with awareness, understanding, knowledge, necessary compassion, wisdom, and care for our planet and all beings. To ultimately transform the human community globally and help restore the planet to a thriving state. We do this by teaching pertinent knowledge and Mindfulness skills that help the world community live happier, more fulfilled lives. See our training model here.

Tools & Techniques:

Perfectly Here implements its mission by offering programs that incorporate scientifically proven Mindfulness practices and techniques. We draw from psychology and wisdom teachings to help participants understand and modify their own minds, emotions, and behaviors.

Outcome:

Brain science has discovered that practicing Mindfulness, Compassion, Gratitude, and Loving Kindness can change neuropathways. With continued practice, various brain regions integrate and increase practitioners’ capacity to shift their attention, regulate their emotions, make better decisions, and live happier and healthier lives.

Measuring Effects:

The positive ripple effects of this increased capacity for compassion and attentiveness cannot be measured as it goes far beyond touching all others in a web of interdependence.
