Since 2007, Mindfulness Without Borders has worked with over 2200 students, parents, educators and professionals around the world. Read what participants and colleagues are saying about our work.

• Why Mindfulness Without Borders?
• “Mindfulness Without Borders is an exceptional and wise initiative in bringing the heart/mind into the education of young people and those who support them, through mindfulness training and council process. This is a much needed project that will contribute to the positive social change that our world so needs today.”

  PhD, Anthropologist, Ecologist and Civil Rights Activist
• “The Mindfulness Without Borders curriculum and resource team offers educators of every level a unique opportunity to raise students who are well-educated spiritually, intellectually, and with core skills to function in our ever-changing society. I have worked with several educational non-profits, but there are few who sincerely devote their resources and commitment to addressing life skills like MWB, as their program helps make the desire to educate children in ‘character and career’ a tangible reality.”

• “The Mindfulness Ambassador Council Guidebook is wonderful, not only its content, but also the audacious vision behind it and the programs you have developed to bring it to some of the most troubled environments on the planet. May between four eyes continue to touch and heal people, communities, and countries near and far.”

• “On the part of the students, to whom the future of our nation and the world belongs, B4E mindfulness skills and practices have developed a new standard of behavioral excellence. Our students have hopes to become agents of social change and role models to their peers, to their colleagues in other schools, to their parents at home and members of their immediate communities.”

• “The Mindfulness Ambassador Council removed me from the slavery where I could not express myself, where I had bad behavior, where I didn’t communicate and had bad relationships….it put me in freedom where I can control myself and where I have good behavior and good relationships with others.”

• “I think there are only two things I do to make a difference in my community. Act mindfully to people around me at school, home and in the community and try to connect with people in an authentic way. I notice that since I joined the mindfulness ambassador council, I have been mindful about the circumstances around me and the way I listen and interact with or to others is in a mindful way.”

• “Since joining the MAC I have learned how to respect human beings in their goodness and their not-so-good aspects. I also learned to make connections with different people, regardless of physical features, race or social status.”
