We empower students ages 7 - 22 to connect with their authentic selves and their limitless potential.
Intentionally and by design, our programs benefit the mental health and wellbeing of our students. Through mindfulness practices, artistic self-expression, connection with nature, and by creating a space free of judgment and full of freedom and trust, The Epicenter liberates students and provides them with a unique experience of self-exploration and self-discovery. This experience calms, centers, and grounds students. 

At The Epicenter, we are a community of empowered, mindful creators who have the courage to be what they are.

All sessions are led by a Harvard- and Brown-educated neuroscientist and a former mechanical engineer. Collectively, they bring years of experience in neuroscience, consciousness research, art installation design, environmental exploration, and introspective program development to The Epicenter sessions.

After experiencing our sessions...

89%  of students report an increase in confidence.
94% of students feel they can freely express themselves in class.
86% of students made a new friend.
95% of students feel more connected to people they already knew / friends they already had.
In addition, middle school students experience a statistically significant reduction in anxiety.
