New! Read about Seeing the Roses on Growthbusters

Mindfulness is paying attention to the present moment with feelings of acceptance, benevolence or even love. Loving this moment may sometimes seem difficult, but it is a practice that can be cultivated. When you know how to do it well, it's literally wonder-full.

The goal of Seeing the Roses is to make caring for the planet delightful. Because, although some people will make sacrifices to save the environment, many won't. We need to find ways people can pursue happiness without degrading the planet.

Through a series of short videos, Seeing the Roses shows how to experience a sense of wonder in the present moment. By loving the richness already around us, we feel less need to acquire more and more manufactured goods that harm the environment.
