Making long-lasting change requires motivation and commitment and the learning process needs to be fun and easy.

Students who complete the course, earn a Certified Mindful Professional (CMP) designation. The designation has helped many graduates achieve their professional goals.
Mindful “U” students and alumni are highly supported. They can ask questions of the group, mentor and be mentored, get one-on-one support, and attend weekly Core-Topics live group discussions.
