We had hoped 30 people might come, but to our surprise 300 people turned up! And from there it grew and grew, and grew. Since that first event we’ve hosted many more… some really big ones where we’ve sat together in the thousands to meditate at iconic locations including The British Museum and the Tate Modern. As well as many smaller ones; including quiet clubs, retreats, festivals, talks and training courses. No matter the event or occasion, we’ve always celebrated coming together, and it became clear that this was evolving into something much bigger than we ever knew.
Then came the app. In 2018 we launched the first version of our Just Breathe app, a support tool allowing people to practice with Michael any time, any place. It wasn’t fancy and it didn’t have many options (in fact there was only one meditation on it) but people loved it, and we realised then what is still our number one priority today - less is always more. Today the Just Breathe app has grown and expanded, and it’s now a place where you can find one new practice daily. Each day brings something new - with meditations from Michael to help guide you through life’s challenges, collaborations with musicians and artists, and mindful practices to welcome a moment of quiet. But while there’s lots to explore, it’s still not a lot to do (the irony in a mindfulness app being too busy!) and we keep it short, simple and easy to follow.
Welcome to our community, a place to close your eyes, be still and Just Breathe.
