The mission of New Journey Movement is to provide evidence-based
programs that serve the three important interdependent groups that make up a school:
students, teachers and parents, in order to provide social and emotional well-being
for the children as well as the entire school-based community.

The vision of New Journey Movement is one of an educational community
where every child, teacher, parent, and caregiver has access to proven tools that improve
social skills, compassion, focus, empathy, self-esteem, self-empowerment, emotional balance,
impulse control and overall well-being.
Founded in 1983, by Kathleen Roquemore, NJM began by providing services for stress reduction practices based on meditation. Upon the passing of Ms. Roquemore in 2009, the board voted to restructure the
organization to focus primarily on the research and implementation of Mindfulness Practices,
with a focus in practices that optimize learning and improve the social and emotional well-
being of school-aged children. Robyn Winters, former President and CEO of Centrifugal, was
elected Executive Director and Director of Programs for NJM. Robyn brings curriculum development
and education experience to NJM, is a certified mindfulness instructor and trained in Mindful
Schools, MindUP, CARE and other mindful and social and emotional learning programs.
