f International Distinction
The Center for Mindfulness in Medicine, Health Care, and Society is a visionary force and global leader in mind-body medicine. For thirty years, we have pioneered the integration of mindfulness meditation and other mindfulness-based approaches in mainstream medicine and healthcare through patient care, research, academic medical and professional education, and into the broader society through diverse outreach and public service initiatives. Directed by Saki F. Santorelli, EdD, MA, since 2000 and founded in 1995 by Jon Kabat-Zinn, PhD , the Center is an outgrowth of the acclaimed Stress Reduction Clinic – the oldest and largest academic medical center-based stress reduction program in the world.
We offer a number of pathways for people to cultivate a sense of well-being, confidence, and creativity:
THE STRESS REDUCTION PROGRAM – Since 1979 more than 19,000 people have completed our eight-week mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) program, an intensive training that asks participants to draw on their inner resources and natural capacity to actively engage in caring for themselves and finding greater balance, ease, and peace of mind.
OASIS INSTITUTE – Our institute for mindfulness-based professional education and training is a school for a new generation of professionals intent on learning, from the inside out, how to integrate mindfulness into their disciplines and endeavors. Training teachers of MBSR is at the core of theOasis Institute mission.
ANNUAL SCIENTIFIC CONFERENCE – For more than 10 years years, we have hosted a unique international meeting of mindfulness-oriented clinicians, researchers, and educators who gather to share scientific findings, clinical approaches, teaching experiences, and ideas.
evolve... - is a comprehensive pathway for you, your colleagues, communities and organizations to explore the power and potential of mindfulness practices in your life – at work and at home.
RESEARCH INVESTIGATING MINDFULNESS – From the very beginning, we have been dedicated to investigating and understanding mindfulness and the mind-body connection through pilot investigations, small studies, and large-scale federally-funded research studies.
