Global Mindfulness Collaborative

Global Mindfulness Collaborative

The Global Mindfulness Collaborative is comprised of many of the world’s leading and well-established MBSR educational and training institutions. Coming together to realize a shared vision and dedicated to human flourishing, these organizations demonstrate a trustworthy level of commitment to the underpinnings of MBSR, professional training to become an MBSR teacher, and research. 

The integrity and fidelity of this collaborative are fully expressed in each member. Through continued collaboration and the sharing of curricula, pedagogy and research methodology, the fields of MBSR and mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) are strengthened. The Global Mindfulness Collaborative exemplifies the standards for MBSR and expands the fields of MBSR and other Mindfulness-Based Programs through responsible knowledge translation of research and experiential training in areas that serve health and well-being.

Recognizing the value of diversity and inclusion, along with the important work led by mindfulness-based program teams throughout the world, we are pleased to announce that the Global Mindfulness Collaborative, currently led by the Mindfulness Center at Brown, will become an independent and self-governed organization, while still aligned with the MC@B, on January 1, 2021.
