SUMMARY:Transformation: InStill’s 10th Birthday Celebration
DESCRIPTION:10 Years of InStill: Growing Community\, Deepening Practice\, Transforming Lives \nTen years of introducing people to mindfulness. Ten years of deepening relationships. Ten years of supporting one another to live mindful and peaceful lives\, and holding compassionate space for those transforming struggle into joy and connection. On Saturday\, September 19\, InStill Mindfulness celebrates it all. And everyone’s invited. \nThe 10th Anniversary Celebration runs from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. at Shanti at Deer Park Farm in Pilot\, Virginia. The event is free and open to everyone—longtime practitioners\, community partners\, and first-time visitors alike. \nThe daylong gathering embodies the spirit of InStill’s work\, blending meditation and movement\, kirtan\, a dance party\, and an evening fire ceremony\, with food by Deer Park Farm. It’s an invitation to slow down\, reconnect\, and celebrate a milestone together. \nFounded in 2016\, InStill Mindfulness has grown from a small mindfulness organization into a community anchor across the New River Valley and Southwest Virginia\, working with individuals\, schools\, workplaces\, and community programs to cultivate kindness\, compassion\, and care. Since relocating to Pulaski in 2023\, InStill has built the InStill Center for Wellbeing into a hub for addressing substance use\, mental health\, housing instability\, and social isolation through mindfulness-informed approaches\, growing from two employees in 2024 to over a dozen Team Members now. \nAmong the contributions InStill is proud to celebrate this year:\n* Peer Recovery\, Reentry & Compassionate Crisis Response — In the past year alone\, InStill’s Peer Recovery team has supported nearly 400 individuals through almost 2\,000 recovery and reentry visits\, connecting participants to treatment\, housing\, basic needs\, and community resources\, in collaboration with partners across the region’s recovery ecosystem. \n* Contemplative Life Skills in Juvenile Detention — A biweekly class for youth at the New River Valley Juvenile Detention Home\, supporting self-awareness\, emotional regulation\, resilience\, and successful reentry. \n* InSpire Community Gatherings — Weekly gatherings\, spanning across Southwest Virginia and beyond\, and also online\, which bring neighbors together for reflection\, dialogue\, and practice—strengthening the contemplative community InStill has built over ten years. \nThese programs share a common thread that has defined InStill from the start: making mindfulness accessible to the people and places that need it most. \nIt’s hard to believe it’s been ten years since InStill was founded as a one-person operation out of my home in Floyd. In this time\, we’ve never wavered from our core mission of providing people in Southwest Virginia with tools for personal transformation—both through our mindfulness groups\, retreats and classes\, and through our Peer Recovery services. We have served thousands of people in that time\, and we are here to celebrate every one of them! —Jamie Reygle\, Executive Director \nWhether you’ve practiced with InStill for years or are simply curious about meditation\, movement\, and community\, all are warmly welcome to join the celebration. \nInStill freely offers this program; however\, we do rely on donations from our participants to support our programs and all contributions are gratefully received.
