History
MAP Mindfulness is an organization forged out of a friendship by two contemplative academics. We are mothers, mindfulness professionals, writers, artists, silent seekers, and friends. Our personal mindfulness meditation practices, graduate education in the field, and collaborations with researchers and experts inform the scientifically-backed mindfulness strategies we bring to individuals and groups.
Get in touch
We at MAP know that beginning a journey in mindfulness can be difficult and sometimes daunting. There are many options in teachers, programs, retreats, books, guided meditations, and APPS. Our vast and varied experience in the mindfulness field and well as our personal dedication to practice allows us to guide you with authenticity and diverse perspectives. We are happy to answer your questions.
