About Mindfulness In Recovery®

Mindfulness In Recovery® (MIR) is a strength-based, practical, and comprehensive mindfulness program designed specifically people for recovery and their family and friends. It incorporates the most used evidence-based therapeutic modalities – MI, CBT, DBT, ACT, and 12-Step Approach with mindfulness skills.

“Mindfulness is much more than present moment awareness; mindfulness includes and facilitates the cultivation of concentration, wisdom, and the ability to make healthy choices that foster genuine happiness and a meaningful life.”

John Bruna, co-founder of Mindfulness In Recovery®

Testimonials

  • Taking the Mindfulness in Recovery Facilitator course was an incredibly rewarding experience. I enjoyed how it deepened my understanding of mindfulness and equipped me with the tools to guide others on their recovery journeys. The course struck the perfect balance between theory and practice, offering insightful content and hands-on techniques I can use in facilitating group sessions. I particularly appreciated the emphasis on empathy and creating a supportive, non-judgmental space for participants. This course has not only enhanced my own mindfulness practice but also empowered me to help others cultivate their own path to healing and growth.

    Dreem Romero

  • The MIR facilitator course exceeded my expectations and also challenged me in important areas of my personal practice. I highly recommend this course for anyone pursuing mindfulness as a lifestyle, practice, and have the ability to train others in this important lifestyle.

    JoJo Bayliss

  • I found the MIR Facilitator Certification Course to be of great value, benefit and meaning to me both for my personal growth in my practice, and in preparing me to be a qualified MIR facilitator. The course challenged me on both levels, and through the challenges I’ve learned and grown. I highly recommend the course to anyone interested in bringing MIR others to help facilitate their growth in recovery.

    Keith Mader

  • This course is of such great benefit to the helping professional, both for personal mindfulness to stay resilient in our work, and for knowledge of how to help our clients heal.

    Kelsey

  • This course helped me to understand that, though simple in it’s format, the application for these techniques are numerous and invaluable.
