I am so excited to welcome you to TrueHeart! I’m Charisse Minerva, also known as Minerva TrueHeart. As a Creative and Artist, my work weaves together Art, Education, and Contemplation. Whether I’m leading a drum class, performing, or collaborating with educators, youth, community groups, counselors, corporations, or athletes, these three elements are always present. I’m dedicated to making Culturally Responsive Mindfulness accessible to everyone, from novices to experts, through what I call Mindfulness for the Masses and Contemplation for Communities.

Currently, I’m leading workshops based on the TrueHeart 4-C Philosophy. This framework emphasizes Culture, Creativity, and Contemplation as foundational elements that build a strong Community, whether in a classroom, boardroom, sports team, or project group. By exploring the unique qualities of each participant, I‘m able to help participants learn to design lesson plans and team-building activities that foster growth and progress. For instance, at the Healing Centered Education Summit, I used storytelling improv circles to gather valuable insights into participants’ perspectives to guide our approach.

Please feel free to contact me if you are interested in learning more about these workshops, the creative work I do, or working with me. I also invite you to join the TrueHeart Tribe to stay up to date on workshops and projects you may be interested in. I look forward to creating with you.
