Utah Mindful Living FoundationUtah Mindful Living FoundationWe provide digital and workbook curriculum options that deeply integrate students into mindful lifestyles and supportive communities of resilience.
We value teachers!
Written by a former public educator, A Course in Mindful Living is pre-packaged with everything you need to provide a rich curriculum of healthy living tools without placing additional burden on teachers.
Recorded lessons teach core principles. Recorded movement and meditation segments fill class time with meaningful student application. Teachers are asked only to hold a safe space for movement and meaningful discussion as guided by Course content.
Professional development supports teachers on their own journey through A Course in Mindful Living, a meaningful opportunity for their own self-care and personal healing.

Utah’s suicide rates are consistently higher than the rest of the United States. Most of us personally know at least one local youth who has taken their life.
Enough is enough. It’s time to take action.
A Course in Mindful Living is a powerful new approach to answering the mental health needs of the rising generation, combining the group healing principles found in 12-step fellowships with mindfulness practices and the latest in neuroscience.
With a professional background in public education, University wellness, Non-profit 12-step, Meditation & Mindfulness training, and personal trauma-healing, there isn’t a better organization to provide meaningful resources on our front lines.
