The Center for Mind-Body Medicine
For 30 years, we’ve worked around the world to share our healing model with communities and institutions facing many kinds of challenges. We collaborate with community leaders to co-create trauma relief and resilience-building programs that are responsive to the community’s unique experiences, needs, goals, and culture. We design in-person and online programs that provide a thorough understanding of the science of mind-body medicine and self-care, and a supportive small group experience in which trainees practice a range of evidence-based techniques that restore physiological and psychological balance, enhance their self-awareness and compassion, and enable the skillful use of this approach with others. Our model is inclusive, equitable and accessible. We look for inspiration and evidence in modern science, ancient wisdom traditions, and local healing practices. With our support, local leaders, institutions, and whole communities can progress toward making urgent and ongoing population-wide trauma relief and resilience building sustainable at the local level. The results are often transformational. Visit our website to learn more about our work, our research, and our impact.
