Welcome to the Urban Mindfulness Foundation CIC
Mindful Communities of Practice Website
The Urban Mindfulness Foundation (UMF) provide structured Educational Mindfulness Trainings focused on cultivating Justice, Equity, Equality Diversity and Inclusion for a more balanced society that we call:
JEDI Work!
In this work of Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion, The Urban Mindfulness Foundation delivers mindfulness trainings and drop in sessions grounded in the alleviation of identity based harm and social and environmental injustice. This is achieved by blending mindfulness, compassion, insight and wisdoms traditions from African, Caribbean, Eastern, Indigenous, Global South and Western Educational Culture that offers a unique means of addressing inequality collectively.
Our Social Mindfulness Programmes combine a unique blend of history, culture, contemporary psychology, world philosophy, theory and practices from meditative traditions that broadens our perspectives, understanding and connection.
By introducing the foundations of mindfulness, compassion and insight practice alongside educational learning, we support mindfulness practitioners to develop the wisdom of inclusion, non violent communication and relational skills that disrupt systemic oppressions for the benefit of all life.
Having created, delivered and researched our very own Mindfulness Based Inclusion Training Program called (MBIT) or MyBIT, we understand how to safely introduce the subjects of equity, equality, diversity and inclusion into mindfulness practice in a way that facilitates prosocial change in key social contexts such as the Educational System, Health Care and Criminal Justice and the Workplace.
A welcome from Dean and Aesha Francis
