About the Center
The Center for Mindful Inquiry is dedicated to teaching the practices and principles of mindfulness to professionals. CMI offers online and face- to- face courses, consultations, seminars, and workshops for professionals who are both new to and experienced in mindfulness practices.
Jack Millett and Claire Stanley founded the center in 2007. They have been professors in higher education for over 30 years and have offered training courses in corporate and educational contexts in the U.S. and overseas since 1986. Their work has focused on education, communication, national and international cultural understanding using an experiential and reflective approach. In the 1990's they began integrating mindful inquiry into their work as a result of their study and practice of Buddhist philosophy and meditation. They are both teachers of meditation at Vermont Insight Meditation Center.
All instructors at the Center for Mindful Inquiry have extensive experience as educators, trainers and course designers as well as many years of practice with mindfulness meditation and its applications in the world.

Mindful inquiry is at the heart of all of our work at the center. When using the process of mindful inquiry we tap into the power of mindfulness to see clearly what is happening in the moment, to accept what is, to understand causes and conditions, and to explore wise and compassionate action.
All of our courses, workshops, and seminars include
