A Letter From Loch

2025 has been a year of growth and expansion for Effortless Mindfulness, and I’m excited to share some of our achievements with you!

As you may know, the Effortless Mindfulness Institute is the nonprofit 501(c)(3) public charity I created to develop and share Effortless Mindfulness educational programs. As a public charity, we create programs to help relieve suffering at the root and access essential well being.

We develop and design programs to maximize the number of people we can reach. And through those programs, we’re committed to helping you discover and nurture your own inner teacher.

What does the next stage of mindfulness and human development look like? 

It looks like you and me, engaged with simple but advanced yet simple glimpses that give us access to our already awake mind. Learning how to live from our awake mind and courageous heart in the midst of a challenging world is what our training programs are all about. 

This year, we’ve accomplished this through a host of programs, courses, media, and tools including:

  • The Mindful Glimpses App winning a Best Meditation App of 2025 Award
  • The Effortless Mindfulness Podcast offered freely around the world
  • The EM Yearlong Facilitator Training & Certification Program
  • EM+IFS 1, 2, and 3 Experiential Series
  • Effortless Focus & Flow, a new approach to Living Awake
  • Live retreats at The Garrison Institute, Omega Institute, Blue Spirit, Hollyhock Retreat Center, and Kripalu Retreat Center
  • Live Virtual Retreats
  • Free Online evening events
 
And here are some of the milestones that you’ve helped us achieve in 2025.
 
By the Numbers
 
  • 2025: Mindful Glimpses wins the 2025 Best Meditation App (edging out Waking Up, Calm, and Headspace) by Hoani YouTube Awards
  • 730: We’re celebrating the 2-year (730 day) anniversary this month of the Mindful Glimpses App
  • 460: We awarded more than 460 scholarships in 2025 to participants in our online and in-person events and programs
  • 2 & 3: We launched Levels Two and Three of the EM Advanced Practitioner and Facilitator Certification Program
  • 150: We are wrapping up training and certification for the first cohort of more than 150 new Effortless Mindfulness Facilitators
  • 100,000: Through email, social media, podcasts, guest appearances, and other channels, we’re touching the lives of more than 100,000 people each year
  • 7 + 2: To support access to more learning, this year we launched a new storefront on LochKelly.org which features seven new self-paced courses and two self-paced retreats
  • 23: To improve user experience, we launched a new Learning Management System for all 23 of this year’s live and self-paced online programs
 

Thank you so much for supporting our work. If you have any questions or wish to speak with someone about making a bequest, please write to us at [email protected].

With a grateful heart,
Loch Kelly
