UC San Diego Center for Mindfulness (UCSD CFM)

Description:
Research into mindfulness-based programs has exploded in recent years and published data on the efficacy of these approaches is growing exponentially. This rapidly spreading awareness of the inherent value of mindfulness, as a personal practice and as a key component of psychotherapy and other interventions, has created a demand for professional training programs of the highest caliber.

Mindfulness-Based Professional Training Institute (MBPTI) was developed in 2005 by the Center’s Founding Director, Dr. Steve Hickman, a former Managing Director, Allan Goldstein, and an impressive team of experts, including MBI program developers, recognized teachers and trainers of mindfulness and people with extensive experience in business, education and other related fields who shared a vision of creating a fully comprehensive Mindfulness-Based Professional Training Institute.

Vision:
The vision for this Institute is one that is global in scope, collaborative and cooperative in spirit, flexible and accessible in design, and firmly rooted in the intention and practice of mindfulness.
