Looking for a box that gifts back? The Heart-Mind Box presented by the Dalai Lama Center for Peace and Education is a new quarterly subscription (or single purchase) box that contains unique items with stories from around the world, curated to nurture heart-mind well-being through connection and creativity. The items in each box are curated using the same five positive human qualities that form the core tenets of the work of the Center: Being Secure & Calm, Alert & Engaged, Solving Problems Peacefully, Getting Along with Others and being Compassionate & Kind. Limited-edition items include hand-crafted mala bracelets from Nepal made specifically for the Heart-Mind Box, and packaged inside a hand-crafted Lokta paper box that allows the recipient to keep one bracelet and gift the other. Another unique feature of the Heart-Mind Box? It is gender-neutral.
