Mindfulness Institute for Emerging Adults

Currently, along with my colleague Barbara Edell Fisher, Ph.D, I’m co-teaching an Introductory Mindfulness class from MIEA (formerly Koru Mindfulness).

Our introduction to mindfulness course, which provides an introduction to mindfulness and meditation, is taught as a weekly, 75 to 90-minute class over four weeks by a MIEA-certified teacher. Classes meet via Zoom in a small group format. There is an accompanying book and free App that go with the course. Teachers provide guidance throughout the week via the MIEA App.

MIEA is different from other mindfulness training programs:

• Mindfulness meditation, as well as stress-management skills, are taught
• A concise 4-session course to accommodate busy schedules
• Highly structured class with recommended 10 minutes daily mindfulness practice and mindfulness log which provides ongoing teacher support between sessions
• Taught in small groups that allow for a sense of connectedness
• Active teaching to address skepticism and build motivation
• Free use of MIEA app to support and enhance one’s practice
• Classes taught by two experienced mental health professionals who bring years of clinical expertise and knowledge to their teachings
• MIEA Alumni are invited to free one-hour classes, which are offered several times throughout the year
