Community Mindfulness Project
CMP is a secular meditation group, dedicated to the study and practice of a variety of mindfulness and heart-opening practices that are highly accessible to people of all religious backgrounds. Benefits of meditation include improved emotional regulation, focus, resilience, compassion, and mental and physical health. CMP’s teachings draw from a variety of traditions. CMP seeks to draw from teachers who represent the highest standards of ethics, scholarship and depth of practice, and CMP aspires to uphold these standards itself. Discussion and peer-to-peer learning are core to the group’s approach, in addition to regular, dedicated practice. CMP aspires to develop outreach programs, in order to bridge secular meditation to modern institutions, including schools, prisons, professional organizations, assisted living centers and sports teams.
