What is Mindful?

We are dedicated to sharing the gifts of mindfulness through content, training, courses, and events—helping people enjoy better health, foster more caring relationships, and cultivate a more compassionate society.

Mindful is the voice of the emerging mindfulness community. We work to provide insight, information, and inspiration to help us all live more mindfully.

From the latest articles on mindful.org, online learning, Mindful Magazine to our conferences and collaborations, our activities support people seeking to learn more as well as leaders working to bring genuine mindfulness practices into the mainstream.

We offer courses, personal stories, news-you-can-use, practical advice, resources and insights that speak to anyone from novice meditators looking for guidance to corporate managers exploring new ways to cultivate workplace engagement and fulfillment. Our audience learns from leaders in the field about effective techniques for mindful living, and the science that points to its benefits.

We’re All Mindful

We all have an innate ability to be present, composed, and thoughtful as we face the challenges of our busy lives. That’s the ground of mindfulness. With some guidance and training, mindfulness can develop into a way of living that brings greater focus and effectiveness as well as kindness and caring in everything we do. Both science and experience demonstrate how being mindful brings positive benefits for our health, happiness, work, and relationships.

Mindfulness and Social Innovation—How You Can Help

We see mindfulness as a unique and profound approach to social change, and our work as a social innovation initiative. Mindfulness is entering the mainstream and it presents an historic opportunity to transform society. It is accessible and everyone can benefit from its potential for promoting individual wellness, healthy relationships, and a more mindful and caring world.

Mindful seeks to help connect the emergent elements in the mindfulness community, from the heroic efforts of the leaders in the field to all those new to mindfulness who seek to learn more. We work to meet people wherever they are – at home, at work, at school or at leisure. Individuals will benefit as mindfulness practices become more a part of everyday life, and generate even greater benefit to society as the underlying values of kindness and compassion permeate our culture.
