The Mindful Life Program

Practical mindfulness training to ease stress, build resilience, and find more joy in everyday life.

“Mindfulness is much more than present moment awareness; mindfulness includes and facilitates the cultivation of concentration, wisdom, and the ability to make healthy choices that foster genuine happiness and a meaningful life.”— John Bruna

Testimonials

  • “I am compelled to share how deeply I appreciate this community. I read everyone’s reflections, the myriad events and situations we are experiencing, the mindful reflections, and the compassionate, supportive and wise responses given by us to one another. I sat back in my chair, overcome by the loving kindness I witness in this little online community. And I had to tell you how grateful I am.”

    Lisa

  • “This is the community that has helped me start on the path of mindfulness. I have all of these amazing things I want to say about how much I have benefitted in a short time… Learning to relax again, to connect with others, to align with my values, which makes life so much more meaningful, to begin to choose genuine happiness…. But it’s better if you check it out yourself.”

    Adrianna

  • “Since joining The Mindful Life Community each day begins and ends with reflection which brings a deeper sense of gratitude and purpose in my life. John and Laura are providing a support system that I can connect with each day that helps me focus my intentions and clarifies my values. I am more aware of love in my heart, not just for those people in my life, but for the experience to be alive and have so many loving people around me. And the difficult situations are less painful as I realize they help me to grow and develop a deeper well of empathy, compassion, and space to help myself and others.”

    Elissa

  • “The Mindful Life Program has changed my life – how I approach and engage with life and its events.  Reflecting back, I can see how I proceeded through much of life on autopilot, responding to people and events from deeply ingrained habits, routines, and tendencies.  Through the skills and concepts taught by the MLP, I have practiced bringing my attention to the present moment, which then allows the space to choose how I want to be.  Choosing to act in a way that aligns with my values, noticing my motivations – all have cultivated contentment and a durable happiness in life.  I am grateful to John, Laura and Mark for this program and its accessible, practical concepts.”

  • My overwhelming learning, beyond the richness of meditation, was the power of intent and the importance of living a daily practice. Transforming stuff!
