In 2021, Spitalfields Music collaborated with experts in music and wellness methodologies,  Mindful Music, and Engines Orchestra, an award-winning cross-genre ensemble with composer and educator Raph Clarkson to create a special project with two primary schools in Tower Hamlets in London.

Blending creative music making and mindfulness, the project helped raise awareness of the importance of looking after our mental wellbeing by supporting participants to explore and experience their feelings.

Mindfulness terminology and teachings including ‘Island of the Self’ and What is Your Weather’ are inspired by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh and Plum Village, a global community of mindfulness practice centres.
