Practice Togetherness
In A World of Separation
To breathe is nearly a radical act today.
Imagine a world where we come together as a community to practice staying mindfully present, as well as explore what’s hard to experience in our times. We envision what it means to hold the high watch together, mindfully turning toward our highest selves, rather than polarizing toward separation due to fear or hurt.
We collectively believe that waking up is hard to do,
yet what is necessary now.
Gather & Study with us for the
#MindfulHighWatch2020
What Is The #MindfulHighWatch2020?
In today’s stormy seas, we offer a 2-part series that includes two distinct mindfulness experiences.
A Time to Gather and a Time to Study.
Get grounded with ancient practices:
Mindfulness
Heartfulness
Engaged Activism
Build our collective ability to share compassion, cultivate tolerance and even allow civil disagreement. Our present heartfulness and active listening connect us. Dignity and decency hold us. Witness our inner journey and that of those around us.
Sit courageously.
Radically choose not to run away.
This is all about checking-in versus checking out.
Come to one, some or all of the Time to Gather for the next 8 weeks. In our talk show format, hear from thought leaders, civic activists, and real people who realize that as we wake up, we must take action.
Commit to the 6-week Time to Study. Establish a vibrant, nourishing foundational mindfulness practice into your daily life.

Collaborative Co-Creation between
The Mindful Entrepreneur
& Awareness Into Action
Radio host and start-up coach Suzanne Jewell, a.k.a., The Mindful Entrepreneur, has collaborated with the Miami social impact organization Awareness Into Action to bring you this powerful two-part experience of #MindfulHighWatch2020.
The Mindful Entrepreneur & Awareness Into Action are committed to supporting the emotional wellbeing of aware action takers in today’s world. We seek to provide tools to support how we wake up and pay attention to what matters most now.
Meet Suzanne Jewell, The Mindful Entrepreneur
Suzanne Jewell, CEO of The Mindful Entrepreneur is former global TV executive turned mindfulness teacher because the practice saved her life. Through awareness during a 3-day migraine, she sensed something wasn’t “right” in her bodily experience, heading to the ER, where a small, 2mm unruptured aneurysm was detected. Grateful to be alive, she lives by the mantra, #WokeUpAboveGround.

Learn The ABCDs of Mindfulness
Thousands of evidence-based research studies now confirm these ancient practices can benefit everything from present moment awareness to focus issues to stress management. Start with the basics, like how your attention + breath can help you to calm your distraction. Practical takeaways are Suzanne’s expertise, like the PBS (Pause.Breathe.Smile) as well as her beloved Anti-anxiety Breath Practice. Beginners will feel welcome and experienced practitioners will appreciate the refresh with a twist, “Jewell-style”.
Learn To Breathe
Calm your Nerves
Anxiety highjacks your nervous system and your state of mind.
The Jewell’s beloved Anti-Anxiety Breath helps.
- 6 seconds breathe in through the nose.
- 1 second let the breath gently circulate inside.
- 8 seconds of exhalation , pursing your lips.
- 10 cycles of 6-1-8 anti-anxiety breathing slows your roll.
