It is a revolutionary undertaking that seeks to dramatically transform the way we view education, using methods that are backed up by the latest research about the brain - and they are already achieving impressive results in children who are learning in the MindUp classroom. In this in-depth interview, Goldie shares her passionate vision for this project (which she says has "got her by the belly button"), her own personal experience and definition of happiness, and why she believes that nurturing optimism and resilience in our children can ultimately help build a better society and a more peaceful world. I realized at that point that our world was probably never going to be the same again. And I was really focused on the kids, because there was a lot of stress and a lot of uncertainty. And realizing that, I thought, "What can I do? What can I do to help these children?" And I was in Vancouver at the time - I was actually there with Wyatt, because we had moved up there for his hockey and I had a lot of time to sit and ruminate and think and feel. And I thought, "Well, let me figure out a way to do something, maybe in the schools, to simply bring kids a little bit more resilience and a little bit more happiness. Movement is vitally important – when our bodies are in motion our minds are more at rest, we become more balanced all around.Simple mission." And what I did was I pulled together my ideas of sort of a cross-disciplinary - which is teaching kids about their brain and how their brains work. Together we see so many synergies between MindUP ™, and Fabletics – health, wellness, activity, movement and balance, but also giving back. This partnership has become a passion project with my daughter, supporting one of my most monumental causes. She wanted to be able to put MindUP ™out there and give more children access to learning about mindful behavior. Hawn said, “I’m extraordinarily proud of Kate and all that she has brought to Fabletics, including her dedication to creating such an amazing community for women. Hawn noted that Hudson is such a huge champion of MindUP ™ that she is not only on the board, but also thought of the idea to collaborate. In the spirit of MindUP ™, the collection’s color palette is soft and calming featuring dahlia purple, olive, shadow and black, with a custom-designed lotus flower mandala print, a symbol often used in meditation. The collection ranges from cozy, designed-for-comfort studio knits to performance-based pieces made of SculpKnit, Fabletics’ newest compressive seamless fabric. Signature Goldie silhouettes such as flared pants and an off-the-shoulder top are some of her capsule favorites. The collection is inspired by Goldie Hawn’s personal style with a nod to the MindUP ™ mission of mindful meditation. One can say that I’ve had a really good role model to build the Fabletics brand!” Through her example, she’s taught me that the body and mind are always connected in a constant flow. She meditates, trampolines every morning, runs, lifts weights and even rides a mountain bike-it’s literally hard to keep up with her! My mom is also the embodiment of the Fabletics ethos. The MindUP ™curriculum helps children understand and manage their emotions through the workings of their brain, which will ultimately raise a generation of kids who have the power to create their own happiness and thrive in today’s world. “My mom is incredibly passionate about the welfare of children, which is what led her to start MindUP ™. “This is the first time my mom and I have worked together, and this partnership between Fabletics and MindUP™ is an exciting one to start with because the cause is near and dear to both of our hearts,” says Hudson. 50% of net proceeds from the collection will be donated to MindUP™ and provide scholarships for schools and teachers to expand the MindUP curriculum to new communities, benefitting children around the globe. The MindUP™ collection for Fabletics will launch September 26th, 2018 and includes select limited-edition outfits. Today, the program is taught in schools across 12 different countries and has helped over 6 million children. The program brings together the foundations of neuroscience, positive psychology, mindful awareness and social-emotional learning. Fabletics, the innovative active-lifestyle brand co-founded by Kate Hudson in 2013 announce the first partnership between Kate Hudson and her mother, renowned actress Goldie Hawn, to launch a global capsule collection in support of The Goldie Hawn Foundation’s MindUP™.įounded by Hawn in 2003, MindUP™ is an educational program that helps children develop the mental fitness necessary to thrive in school and in life.
