BROUGHT TO YOU BY
The Center for Mindfulness in Public Safety promotes the research, development, and implementation of Evidence-Based Practices (EBP) supporting excellence, staff wellness, safe and humane environments, and successful outcomes in the fields of corrections and criminal justice, law enforcement, and other agencies involved in public safety.

Our mission at Engaged Mindfulness Institute is to offer rigorous, in-depth training to aspiring and active mindfulness teachers in trauma-informed approaches to sharing the practice of mindfulness and facilitating various mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) with individuals placed at risk, vulnerable populations and marginalized and underserved communities.
Our mission at Heart Mind Institute is to support our individual and collective efforts to become more deeply embodied, heart-centered, resilient and earth connected at this time when there is such a clear and critical need to heal and repair our relationship with the earth, our fellow species and each other.
