Fieldbook for Mindfulness Innovators (Edition ed.)

This fieldbook is a result of extensive conversations with innovators who wish to contribute creatively to the growing field of mindfulness training, as well as teachers and researchers who care deeply about the integrity and quality of mindfulness innovations.

Much of the material is focused on the initial development and testing of an idea. Most content applies to innovation in general, but has been curated and adapted to emphasise the elements most relevant for the mindfulness field. What you will find in this book is not a single ‘best practice’ model, but many different ideas that you are invited to explore as you navigate the field for yourself.

The information shared is necessarily broad and inclusive, to be useful for a wide group of innovators working in a
wide range of contexts. Most of the references are based on the UK mindfulness sector, but we imagine that those
working outside this context will nonetheless find this a useful map.

We hope that what follows will serve to enrich your creative work, and that your creativity will in turn enrich the shared knowledge and practices in the field of mindfulness training.
