live life mindfully
On my desk is a diagram of the “regenerative social design canvas” – it’s a framework we are using this winter and spring as we create our next three-year strategic plan for Calmer Choice.
In recognition of all that we are facing and holding as individuals and communities, we are offering our next 8-week course (beginning Tues. January 11th) through a choose-your-own-tuition model.
Our 2020-2021 Annual Report includes a farewell letter from Fiona Jensen, a message from incoming CEO Emily Smalley, and details our accomplishments over the year as our organization enters our second decade of service.
It’s been an incredible period of growth and change for Calmer Choice. We are finding our sea legs in the wake of our dear founder Fiona’s retirement, melding skillsets with a new Leadership Team, celebrating a successful Fall event season, and making plans for the future.

It seems you can’t turn on the news or open a magazine without some reference to the fall-out of the pandemic, and not all of the fall-out has been negative.
Fiona's farewell party–the All We Need is Love Gala–was a huge success! See event photos, a video, and a letter from Fiona.
In late September, Calmer Choice hosted our inaugural Community Stakeholder Breakfast sponsored by Eastern Bank.
As I begin the process of handing over the reins of this most amazing organization, I am keenly aware that mindfulness and all that goes along with it around self-care, being in the present moment, taking care of ourselves and each other with kindness - all of this is more important than ever.
