Mindfulness Training Collective

The Mindfulness Training Collective (MTC) organizes mindfulness training across the professional disciplines offered through National University. The MTC features a supervised quasi-decentralized model that includes faculty, staff, students, and alumni through which participants can teach, learn, and practice with one another. This means that anyone in our community can tailor mindfulness training offerings to the specific needs of their career path, identities, or program. The MTC’s approach to mindfulness has intersectional resilience at its core which integrates a trauma-informed lens and cultural humility. The MTC directly addresses the professional needs of its participants.
