Mindfulness Training Courses
The Urban Mindfulness Foundation currently offer a range of uniquely blended mindfulness training programmes and courses designed to enrich the multicultural communities in which we operate. The importance of practicing mindfulness in a group and community of practice framework cannot be emphasised enough. Consequently, all our services are delivered as a group, community or team intervention that allows for transformations to occur that can only occur when there is a commitment to working together with others.

All our services are offered within a mindfulness community of practice framework designed to create brave and courageous spaces of psychological safety, where accountability and responsibility can be addressed through the solidarity of collective action!

Affinity Groups for racialised Black and People of Colour, the Global South and Global Majority community
The Urban Mindfulness Foundation feel it is important to create spaces where the needs of a particular group can be met, and where others in the group can relate to the necessity of meeting those particular needs. We also consider it to be important that entry points to practice are created where the facilitation and practice of mindfulness can be appropriately shaped to be relevant and relatable to the specific needs of a demographic context that is underserved, underrepresented or disadvantaged.

If you are a mindfulness practitioner, teacher or facilitator able to lead an affinity group, please get in touch to explore collaboration opportunities!
Multicultural community of practice gatherings for everyone
The Urban Mindfulness Foundation will also continue to offer free multicultural community of practice gatherings where everyone is welcome to join in awareness of the collective challenges we face when dismantling racism and social inequality collectively. So if you are committed to JEDI work that is rooted in cross cultural learning, then our mulitcultural mindfulness practice sessions are just for you.
All profits from any of our services are directed towards ensuring the ongoing provision of Free context specific and culturally aware mindfulness trainings for those from disadvantaged, underserved and marginalised communities who would not normally be able to access mindfulness trainings due to relatability or costs.
