Fourteen years ago, my dear friend and fellow co-founder Rich Pierson and I, started work on a little project called @headspace. Well, having stepped back from the company last year, and now from the board, it’s time for us to bid @headspace a very fond farewell. THREAD:

10/10: For now though, with immense gratitude, heartfelt thanks and much love, we wish you every happiness and hope that meditation and mindfulness continue to benefit both you and those around you. Andy and Rich 🧡

9/10: As for what’s next, Rich and I will be taking a break and spending some much needed time with our families, alongside some philanthropic work dear to us both. We have exciting plans for the future, but I may be a little quiet on Twitter until then.

8/10: And it’s my sincere wish we will continue to meditate together on the app, that you will continue to draw inspiration from the many teachings, and that you will continue your journey with @headspace. As ever, I will be there in spirit every step of the way.

7/10: For those of you wondering, yes, you’ll still find me on the Headspace app. Over the years, I had the good fortune to record meditations, podcasts and so much more. This will remain on the platform to guide you alongside all the great content from the teachers and team.

6/10: And thank you to the remarkable team, past and present, who helped us take a simple idea and turn it into a global community of over 100 million people. That same help@headspace team will continue to be here for you with their support, motivation and guidance.

5/10: From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for all your love, commitment and friendship. Thank you for being vulnerable, for showing up for one another, and for helping to change the way people think about meditation and talk about mental health.

4/10: On a personal level, it’s been an extraordinary privilege to walk alongside you on your meditation and mindfulness journey over the years. Your heartfelt stories of personal transformation have inspired and humbled us in equal measure and will stay with us forever.

3/10: As founders, we want to give the new team all the space it needs to flourish and to fulfill the full potential of the platform. We have no doubt they will do so brilliantly, and that you will be thrilled with the plans they have in store.

2/10: With the @headspace @carebyginger merger last year, the new Headspace Health platform has brought together the very best of mental health services and a revolutionary approach. The scale, reach and breadth of the offering has exceeded our wildest dreams.

Last week in Lapland 😍 Wherever you are in the world, sending much love for 2022. May you and those around you have good health and every happiness in the year ahead! #HappyNewYear

Whether your run streak is 4 days, or almost 4 years, today is a good day to congratulate yourself…and to keep that same streak going. Thanks for being part of the @Headspace community all this time Mickey - and for having me share in your journey

Taking time out for yourself can become a healthy habit — 2,000 days straight, 50,000 minutes, across 5 years. Thanks for the inspiring example @mchmom18...and for being part of the @Headspace community for so long

As we witness a sunrise or a sunset, are we experiencing it, or are we thinking about it? As we watch thoughts pass by, are we experiencing them, or are we thinking about them?

We might think that we are sitting down with the same mind each time we meditate. But like sitting down at the edge of a flowing stream, we are never looking at the same water twice

The sun simply shines. It does not have any notion of achieving something. In the same way, when we sit to meditate, it is enough to sit like the sun: bright, open, spacious, and warm

Thanks for being with us all these years Ricky, and so happy the practice is still strong, from one Olympics to the next. Wishing you and the team the best of health, every success, and a fantastic time at #Tokyo2020

No matter how well we live our life, it can sometimes seem unfair or unjust. #Meditation helps us to accept the things we cannot control

Observing the breath does not deny thought but rather presents us with a stable point of focus from which to observe thought more clearly

No matter how hard we try to bury difficult emotions, they'll always surface. Better to find a release valve and slowly set them free #meditation
