Global Mindfulness Collaborative

GLOBAL MINDFULNESS COLLABORATIVE
MISSION, VISION, and VALUES
 
The Global Mindfulness Collaborative brings together many of the world’s leading and well-established Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) teacher training organizations, historically associated with the Center For Mindfulness at the University of Massachusetts (CFM) Medical School and the Mindfulness Center at Brown University (MC@B), to realize a shared vision dedicated to human flourishing through offering professional MBSR teacher training. The integrity and fidelity of this collaborative as expressed in our mission, vision, and values are fully expressed in each of our member organizations.
 
Mission:
To collaborate globally in offering rigorous Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction teacher training adhering to recognized international standards of practice and grounded in fidelity to foundational roots of MBSR originally developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn with inclusivity, accessibility, and evidence-based efficacy within its contemplative tradition.
 
Vision:
To nurture the innate wholeness, goodness, and human potential of all, awakening to the interdependent nature of all things in bringing forth a responsive, caring world.
 
Values:
  • Shared MBSR and MBSR Teacher Trainer curricula as currently iterated by the Mindfulness Center at Brown University, a member of the Global Mindfulness Collaborative
  • Excellence in trainings consistent with the rigor of international MBSR teacher training competencies
  • Fidelity to philosophy, spiritual roots, and practice of mindfulness
  • Adherence to International Integrity Guidelines for Mindfulness-Based Program (MBP) Teachers and Teacher Trainers
  • Evidence-based MBP teaching
  • Dedication to inclusivity, diversity, and equity strengthening global accessibility of MBPs
  • Mutual regard, encouragement and support for deepening mindfulness practice and skillfulness as trainers

As adaptations of MBSR emerge and are researched and validated for efficacy, the GMC may choose to expand its program offerings collectively.
 
This new organizational form seeks to embody the recognition of self-sovereignty that MBSR offers as transformational practice.  We collaborate from our abundance of strengths, contributing resources in teaching, research, and peer support as needs arise.  We stand, together, in support of one another and the communities we serve, to foster the clarity, care, and kindness needed to minimize harm and maximize human flourishing. 
 
We are grounded by a shared Mission, Vision and Values.
