Welcome

The Center for Mindful Inquiry (CMI) was founded by Claire Stanley, Ph.D and Jack Millett, MAT in 2007.  The Center  is dedicated to teaching the practices and principles of mindfulness to professionals.  At CMI, course participants learn how to connect with, see and understand themselves, situations, and the people in their lives with greater clarity, wisdom, and compassion.  By learning to apply mindfulness and to respond skillfully in the moment, professionals can bring benefit to themselves, to the particular situation and to all involved. 

CMI offers online and face-to-face courses, consultancies, workshops for professionals who are both new to and experienced in mindfulness practices. The basis of the work is a non-sectarian approach to insight (vipassana) meditation and Buddhist philosophy, out of which all mindfulness practices grow.  All courses taught at CMI integrate study, meditation, and reflection in community as vehicles for developing wise and compassionate action in the world.

Mindfulness is the basis for wise action. When we see clearly what is happening in the moment, wisdom can direct our choices and actions, rather than old habits simply playing out our patterns of conditioning.
