About Oxford Mindfulness
At Oxford Mindfulness, we’re proud to be internationally recognised for teaching mindfulness and as a mindfulness teacher-training organisation.
We’ve partnered with the University of Oxford since 2007 to develop easy-to-understand programmes using Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), which combines mindfulness and psychological science.
We work with organisations and universities around the world to deliver the mindfulness programmes developed through this partnership, supporting our vision of a world with universal access to mindfulness training.
The Oxford Mindfulness Foundation
The Oxford Mindfulness Foundation is a registered not-for-profit organisation with a mission to introduce access to research-based mindfulness in all areas of society.
We raise and distribute funds to support research and access to mindfulness training.
We believe that by living mindfully, deepening our awareness of ourselves, one another and the world around us and acting with kindness, we can make a positive difference in our communities and in our lives.
We work collaboratively on an international scale to:
Teach mindfulness
We teach mindfulness via online courses and our app for personal learning and development.
Trained teachers
We offer high-quality teacher-training programmes, giving you the opportunity to teach a range of mindfulness courses.
Provide ongoing development
We help mindfulness teachers to keep learning and developing their skills and practitioners to sustain and deepen their practice.
Research mindfulness
We support world-leading academic research to review the evidence-base for mindfulness.
“We aim to support mindful well-being through education, courses and training – benefitting the individual, others around us and the wider world.“
