Eve Dunkins, Founder, Creator and CEO

A passionate leader, trailblazer, and agent of change, Evelyn Dunkins is the founder and CEO of The Art of Mindful Living LLC. The Art of Mindful Living—The TAO of Self-Mastery is comprised of over twenty-five years of steadfast, dedicated service in the artistry of optimizing human potential. Before pursuing her own entrepreneurial and philanthropic endeavors, Evelyn was working with leading private and public institutions, with community key stakeholders, and with all levels of government locally and internationally. Her twenty-five year career in executive leadership centered on the human impact of mental health, raising public consciousness through advocacy and education, and advancing social causes by creating systemic and legislative changes. Her focus was always aimed at creating institutional cultural shifts through unique, data-informed methodologies, result-driven techniques, and cultivating the next generation of leaders. Passion and purpose are the bedrock of her success. However, Evelyn also knows firsthand the challenges of persevering through adversity to finally overcome, triumph, and thrive. Before earning her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Rutgers University, her Master of Social Work from New York University, and having a prominent career full of accolades, awards, and achievements, Evelyn was a survivor herself. Thus at the peak of her career, Evelyn resigned from the public and private sector, leaving her position as CEO to embark on a global humanitarian tour to bring healing to others and there, she found the path to heal herself. Upon her return, and feeling inspired by her own personal journey, Evelyn became an author and held a successful, yearlong, national speaking and book signing tour. She shared her philosophies on deep, transformational change and empowered living in her inspirational memoir, The Woman in The Mirror—A Journey Into The Authentic Self. Today (following the philosophy of Mahatma Gandhi, “Be the change you want to see in the world.” ergo, Evelyn’s evolution from victim to victor, and from homelessness to CEO), she is the real-life breakthrough story that is enriching, empowering, and awe-inspiring. Evelyn fervently continues to cultivate humanity through blended wellness and integrated well-being. And now her professional, unprecedented knowledge, and insightful, personal journey have coalesced into her greatest achievement, The Art of Mindful Living—The TAO of Self-Mastery. Evelyn’s mission is to optimize one’s human potential so they can achieve, thrive, and prosper by harnessing the power of their authentic self to become limitless.

“We believe in optimizing human potential in order to achieve, thrive, and prosper in the pursuit of personal fulfillment and spiritual enlightenment, through The Art of Mindful Living.”

ABOUT THE BOOK

The author takes the reader on a journey within, into the depths of a provocative affair between her false self and her authentic self. She provides a vivid portrait of her courageous mind meeting her painful memories, her valiant heart overcoming her shameful unworthiness and her bold spirit overpowering her relentless fear. Inside this account, she shares an uncensored description of how she overcomes her past when she discovers an inconspicuous truth. While traveling the world in search for answers to silence her nightmares and heal her pain, she sees that the answers stood where she buried her painful past, hidden in the eyes of the woman reflected in the mirror- and to find them, there was only one journey left to take, a journey within.

Evelyn Mejil embarks on a journey and takes the reader with her. She reveals her own resistance to go within and how the journey eventually led her to visit the memories of her past and face her demons. Once she goes beyond the memories and faces her demons, she finally discovers her true being and vividly recounts how her false self, the identity birthed in the lies of her past, collapses. Shattering the iron grip of her past, she is finally free from victimhood, heals, and brings forth a new story. In the end, she unveils the looming dawn of a new being that breaks away from the logic that betrays her hope, peels away the layers of ideas that stifle her faith and obliterates the concepts that conceal her truth. Overcoming the annihilated illusionary walls of pain from the past, the false torturous hold of shame in every present moment and the shattered imaginary bridges of fear of the future, she presents the unadulterated expression of her most powerful self, The Authentic Self.
