TMA's History
What would become The Mindfulness Alliance began as an effort to create a space for mindfulness at higher education institutions in Western New York. This process began in 2013, expanded into an inter-institutional collaborative, then a cross-sector regional initiative, a state-wide collaboration, and ultimately grew to supporting contemplatives everywhere. Check out our Contemplatives Converge timeline below for details.

Our Work Today
Our work today focuses on fostering the inner shift from “me” to “we”, expanding the focus of mindfulness beyond individual well-being to catalyze our collective well-being. We strive to foster transformation literacy that goes beyond personal change, into the realm of social change. Our innovative programming helps to build our inner infrastructure, cultivate a we-mindset, and revolutionize our approach to change and change-making. By focusing on the how, we provide clear process steps for practice-in-action, transforming both our inner and outer worlds.
