About Us
 
Programs for Mindful Living is an offshoot of the Minnesota Zen Meditation Center (MZMC), a non-profit founded in 1972. MZMC has provided many of the activities that are the focus of Programs for Mindful Living but on a much-reduced scale and on a more ad hoc basis. These activities include talks about mindfulness (and Buddhism more generally): in schools at all levels; information training sessions on mindfulness for business groups, the general public, and prisons; and seminars on mindfulness and mental health for healthcare professionals.
 
During the past twelve years, Tim Burkett, the guiding teacher of the Minnesota Zen Meditation Center and long-time CEO of People Incorporated, the largest mental health charitable foundation in Minnesota, has trained nine individuals who are now independent meditation teachers. Many of these individuals, each of whom has spent about ten years in mindfulness training, are ready to devote their efforts to training others in mindfulness practices. They are the initial core of teachers and staff in Programs for Mindful Living. Their qualifications are their ten or more years of mindfulness training and engagement in the outreach activities of the Meditation Center described above.

Programs for Mindful Living will be offering two classes for working professionals this summer: Mindfulness Training for Business Professionals and Mindfulness Training for Health Care Professionals.
