If everyone in the world — from the little kids learning to tie their shoes to the adults learning to navigate the workplace — had the tools they need to overcome adversity with mindfulness, self-regulate, and cultivate inner peace, everything would be different for all of us.
But here’s the thing — most of us are never taught how to cultivate that mindfulness in the first place.
The power of mindfulness could change the way the world turns.
No matter who you are, it’s never too late to learn. And with the right guidance, you can harness the exact tools needed to help you approach your life from a place of peace and intention instead of overwhelm and anxiety.
Here’s the good news
As NYC Public School’s first ever full-time Mindfulness and Social Emotional Wellness teacher and a long-time passionate educator of both children and adults, I created Sol Light Learning to help more people gain access to the tools needed to live a life of healing, joy, purpose and fulfillment.
Using an approach that focuses on social and emotional wellness, somatic trauma therapy, mindfulness, academics, and everything in between, Sol Light’s mission (and mine) is simple — to fill up the world with so much light that it can’t be ignored.

Ms. Caitlin has changed my life forever.

"I have also participated in professional development provided by Caitlin in my current school district. During this training, she asked teachers to reflect on their lives and gave tips to bring mindfulness activities into the elementary classrooms. Mrs. Cepeda brings light and hope into all of her work."
She's truly a valuable asset for any company.
— Gina, Wellness Coordinator
"Several times per week, Caitlin would visit our office, share mediation techniques, host yoga class, share her knowledge of the practice and even give us advice. Our employees, of all physical levels, really embraced her and grew to love her practice. She is amazing!"
I still practice everything I learned from her.
Nothing in life — from a school to a home – can function optimally if it’s not well, and that starts, fundamentally, with our minds, our bodies, and our spirits.
We believe in…
Wellness is the cornerstone
There’s nothing quite like the power of knowing, loving, and trusting yourself — and if we can promote that from a young age, we’ll change the world.
Mindfulness is impact
We all have access to a bright light deep within us — sometimes we just need help and intention to reach in and bring it out.
Light is everything
