The Heart Mind Box is from the Dalai Lama Center for Peach and Education and contacts a selection of ethically sourced products and experiences designed to nurture your Heart-Mind well-being; curated with love. This one is really great and is must-needed gift! I love the variety of items included in this box.
In every box there is something that will help you connect to others, something that will encourage you to take care of yourself, and a connection to the science behind well-being.
In the box is a special team blend from the tea garden of Assam, India. The tea is directly packaged and sent to consumers from the garden, unlike generic tea brands. Each label shares the information of the tea garden(s), region, leaf quality, and harvest date to help you further connect with others.
