Mindfulness Practice Center

What is the Mindfulness Practice Center?

The Mindfulness Practice Center (MPC) has been organized through a campus-wide effort at the University of Missouri in order to offer mindfulness practices to students, faculty and staff.  The MPC emphasizes a non-sectarian approach to mindfulness that draws on contemplative practices from a variety of traditions.

"Mindfulness can be though of as a moment-to-moment nonjudgmental awareness, cultivated by paying attention in a specific way, that is, in the present moment, and as non-reactively, as non-judgmentally, and as openheartedly as possible."

-From Coming to Our Senses by Jon Kabat-Zinn, Ph.D.
