NOWvember 2022

A month of mindfulness-based offerings

Mindfulness is all about presence, so we want to turn the month of November into NOWvember by giving you over 70 opportunities to practice and engage with us.

These events, like much of what we do, are primarily offered free of charge. We make our offerings free to all members of the public, whenever possible, to support our vision of Cultivating a Mindful World for All.

So we’re asking you to support us in our NOWvember endeavors by making a tax-deductible donation to InStill, which will allow us to continue offering as much free and heavily subsidized programming as possible in the days, weeks, months, and years ahead.

One lucky donor in the month of November will win a ticket to attend the very first FloydFest at their brand new site!

FloydFest

And we are excited to announce a $12,000 matching challenge from several of our biggest supporters, who will match you—dollar for dollar—for the first $12,000 raised in this campaign!

All are welcome to attend our offerings. If you are able to offer your support, it will help us continue to keep as many offerings as possible free, so they are accessible to all peoples and groups.

Our Matching Partners

Here’s what’s available to you throughout NOWvember. Please join us as often as you can!
