Global Political Network

The success of the mindfulness training and public policy program in the UK Parliament has now inspired similar initiatives in other legislatures, and the Mindfulness Initiative has been called upon to support politicians and advocates across the world. We now provide advice and support to those working in the political systems of 45+ countries, including Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Mexico, the Netherlands, Sweden and Sri Lanka.

The Mindfulness Initiative convenes a global 'network of networks', linking together the legislators and advocates who are establishing mindfulness training programmes in their political systems. Many countries now have established expert groups like The Mindfulness Initiative in the UK, whilst others are represented in the interim by individuals or organisations who are working to establish a mindfulness training course for their political leaders.
