About Us - Atlanta Mindfulness Institute
The Institute offers group classes for professionals in business, medicine, education and mental health. The classes run over eight weeks and are based Jon Kabat-Zinn’s Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction Program and Zindel Segal’s Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy Program. Typically the classes meet for 2 hours weekly, with one day-long retreat. The objective is to teach mindfulness meditation, mindful movement, and the integration of mindfulness into everyday life. Classes include discussions on how mindfulness can be applied to your field and your daily work. The classes also introduce other meditation practices to increase positive mind states, such as kindness, compassion, equanimity and joy.
In addition to CEU earned training classes, the Institute promotes exploration of ways in which mindfulness may be integrated into various settings, such as psychotherapy, medical practice, the classroom, or the office. We provide ongoing training and supervision for professionals who have taken our initial training programs, as well as for professionals who already have an established mindfulness practice and want to join with others in enhancing their meditation practices. The institute is a place for professionals to meet periodically, share ideas, and network.
Finally, we offer opportunities to do research into the various ways mindfulness can be used to relieve suffering and enhance peoples' lives. We invite you to join us in these endeavors.

A cool breeze in the summer, snow in winter, If your mind isn't clouded by unnecessary things,
This is the best season of your life."
