Why we built it this way
"We didn't want a venue that only turns on for wedding season, and we didn't want a retreat center that never sees a celebration. We wanted one piece of land that could hold both — a place that changes with the calendar instead of sitting empty half the year."
— Everyday Mindfulness, Founder's note
Everyday Mindfulness is a women-owned company, and Seasons on the Mount is its home base: a former horse and event property being brought back to life as a barn venue, working gardens, and small-group retreat ground. Bookings here are kept intentionally limited — one wedding or retreat has the full property to itself, and every space is designed to be used, not just admired.
Purpose: To build a thriving community destination that brings people together through meaningful experiences — blending hospitality, celebration, and personal development across every season of life.
Vision: Seasons on The Mount will serve as a gathering place for all — offering space for community picnics, seasonal festivals, children’s mindfulness camps, and local artisan markets.
Community Programming:
- Seasonal Gatherings: Open community events celebrating local culture, music, and togetherness.
- Youth & Leadership Programs: Camps and workshops focused on creativity, teamwork, and personal growth.:
- Local Partnerships: Collaborations with schools, churches, and small businesses to host educational and family-centered experiences.
Impact:
- Fosters a sense of belonging and well-being for families and community members.
- Strengthens Mt. Washington’s identity as a regional hub for connection, growth, and celebration.
- Builds recurring opportunities that deepen relationships and community involvement year-round.

Everyday Mindfulness Programs
Retreats, coaching, and workshops split into three tracks, each with a retreat format and a coaching/workshop format.
Sports Leadership Academy
Leadership training for athletes, teams, and coaches, built through the work rather than the whiteboard.
Spiritual & Wellness Development
Personal growth work in the meditation hall and along the garden paths, at your own pace.
Corporate Leadership Development
Offsites and training for leadership teams, using the property itself as the exercise.
Overnight Stays
The house on the property sleeps up to 10. There are two ways to book a night in it.
Founder’s Story – Nick Paniccia
My journey with mindfulness began more than 15 years ago, during a time when life felt overwhelming and busy. What I found in the practice was more than a tool for stress relief—it became a path toward greater clarity, presence, and peace in everyday life. Mindfulness showed me that no matter what is happening around me, stillness and balance are always available within. [0.1.4]
Over the past 12 years, I’ve had the privilege of sharing these practices as both a Mindfulness teacher and Certified Life Coach. In my coaching and teaching, I combine practical techniques with compassionate guidance to help people integrate mindfulness into their work, relationships, and daily life. [0.1.4]
Everyday Mindfulness was born out of my own transformation. The practice not only brought me personal benefit—it reshaped how I show up as a son, father, husband, a professional, and a human being. My mission is to make mindfulness simple, accessible, and meaningful, so that others can also discover the freedom of living with greater presence and compassion through every season of life.
