SolJoy Peaceful Warriors
Training Underrepresented Community Leaders, Founders, and Entrepreneurs in Somatic Mindfulness and Holistic Wellness
SolJoy Peaceful Warriors serves underrepresented and underserved local community leaders, founders, entrepreneurs, educators, and students with tools and practices for sustainable wellness.
Our proven, college-accredited somatic mindfulness training courses Ignite, ALIVE, and qigong help develop mindfulness, emotional resilience, focus, stress relief, and leadership skills. We use the 5 M’s of mindfulness, meditation, movement, music, and martial arts as modalities easy to learn.
Vision
Our next generation of leaders embody peace in chaos, practice high emotional intelligence, and can navigate through uncertainty with resilience, energy, and mindfulness.
How It Began
The foundation kicked off by hosting a Conscious Business Summit in Poulsbo, WA on Nov 2019, fundraising $3,300 at the event to jumpstart the fund followed by a series of mini fundraisers online and in partnership with local businesses. Madrona Waldorf school was the first recipient school to be gifted training for the second graders when the pandemic hit halfway through the program.
Since then, we have partnered with like minded organizations to find scholarship recipients for educators and teachers to take the training to bring to their classroom and students. We currently have granted 3 scholarships to teachers and our goal is to grant 10 per year.
Where does the money go?
100% of your donation provides direct scholarships (full and partial) to take our training, retreats, and programs. We are 100% volunteer run and a 501c3 fiscally sponsored through Angels for Angels, EIN 27-5180670.
How can I support?
Believe it or not, funding isn’t our main challenge–it’s finding conscious teachers and educators willing to take the course. Especially since the pandemic, many are already exhausted from their day to take time out to take the trainings that are currently online.
If you or someone you know is a teacher, educator, homeschool co-op parent, or anyone that wants to bring mindfulness and emotional resilience to their students, please contact rebecca@brainpowerwellness.com.

Board of Directors
Anna Sun Choi, Founder
Anna purpose is to catalyze the next generation of global leaders to cause a tipping point in elevating humanity’s consciousness.
When her son was 6 years old, he came home upset about a recess incident. A gang of kindergarteners shouted profanity for no reason at their first grade group that escalated to an all out fist fight. With tears and bloody noses, the school monitors had them say sorry and the parents were never informed. After finding out about chairs being thrown at the teacher, the art class cut out completely for a K-5 school, and repeated attempts to make it better as a chaperone, art docent, and PTA member–the last straw was at bed time, when Eli began shooting at her with a gun–not typical behavior.
After moving him to a private school, Anna vowed with her husband to do more for the school than just continue paying tax dollars towards the school district–but make a deeper impact to get to the root of the challenge.
A Solution
Anna discovered a curriculum that was used in El Salvador the hardest hit schools full of ongoing, never ending violence and trauma. Their curriculum worked so well spreading to schools countrywide, that the founder of the Curriculum was awarded the Presidential Award by the President of El Salvador. Knowing her initial public school had 25 % of the school with ACE (Adverse Childhood Experience) children, she wanted to bring this proven tested approach to teachers.
Today, she brings together existing organizations who share the same vision and mission together where 100% of donations pass through to granting teachers scholarships for brain power wellness training for themselves and to their students.
