About TMA
The Mindfulness Alliance serves as a catalyst and community-builder, offering innovative programming in service to the mindful evolution of social systems. We believe that the future of the mindfulness movement lies in fostering the inner movement from me to We, to bring about the changes needed to better serve humanity and the planet.
We are building a unique community of mindfulness practitioners and change-makers that spans disciplines and sectors and embraces multiple wisdom traditions. We believe that together we can catalyze our collective capacity to foster awareness-based social change for a more flourishing future – where individuals, institutions, and systems embody more compassion, justice, and inclusivity.
Core Questions
How do we foster the inner journey from me to We? Since 2018, we have experimented with how to live this shift, using the we-space of our nonprofit as our petri dish. We hold the following questions at the heart of our journey, with the aspiration to live the questions in order to someday live the answers:
How do We
1. Determine the types of transformative introspection needed to transcend our cultural trance in order to foster the movement from me-to-We?
2. Leverage our inner knowledge to move beyond outmoded ways of operating toward more holistic, interconnected functioning, in order to form more just structures, and center collective wellbeing?
3. Develop the transformation literacy needed to meet our urgent intra- and interdependent societal challenges?
Our publication, Transformation Literacy to Transformative Unity: A Noble Experiment From me to We, shares insights gleaned from living into these answers, including how we have come to define and support the me-to-We journey. Join us in daring greatly and igniting the possible. Join the WeShift Institute.
