Our foundation: Open MBSR

Since 1979, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) has been the most researched and most widely taught mindfulness program worldwide. Open MBSR is our contemporary, secular adaptation of MBSR, preserving what works while modernizing how mindfulness is practiced, taught, and shared.

This approach is documented in Open MBSR: Reimagining the Future of Mindfulness (Wiley), written by Mindful Leader founder Mo Edjlali.
