Empowering Transformation Through Mindful Leadership
I deeply appreciate the creators of Mindful Leader and the Certified Workplace Mindfulness Facilitator program. Their organizational structure empowers my companies to provide a safe, supportive space where others can rediscover themselves from within through present awareness.

The community is kind and supportive
The community is kind and supportive. What I liked most is that I could join a live, guided meditation every hour on the hour.

The instructor I had was very disrespectful. He forced individuals to talk about traumatic situations that made the individuals clearly uncomfortable. Even when confronted, there was no sense of empathy and continued to ask questions. I believe seeing that half of the class leave is a concerning fact. Even when confronted with this fact, the instructor mentioned that he wishes he was there for orientation to "weed" people out before beginning. The instructor proceeded to make comments regarding the individuals who left and the "disrespect" for not attending without providing a reason or farewell to the group. For the cost and the time, this MBSR experience was not worth the time more financial sacrifice. From an ethical and moral viewpoint, this is one of the poorest training experiences I've experienced.

Thank you for sharing this. We take concerns about instructor conduct, participant safety, and the overall learning environment very seriously.
In our MBSR programs, participants are never required to share personal or traumatic experiences. Sharing is always optional. Participants may pass, remain silent, step away, or choose not to participate in any discussion or exercise. Our instructors are expected to support choice, autonomy, and psychological safety throughout the course.
We are sorry this was your experience and appreciate you bringing it to our attention. We would appreciate the opportunity to listen to your experience further and address this with you directly. Please contact us at [email protected] or 202-455-8312.
My favorite parts of the course included the mindful movement and the connections I got to foster with Gus and the other course participants. It felt like a safe space to learn and share. I have also been able to restart my mindfulness practice because of the course. Thank you Gus and Mindful Leader!

Great facilitator. Exercises were helpful for building mindfulness as was the discussions about our experiences with the exercises and about mindfulness generally. Mindful Leader also provides a lot of useful written material for each class session and overall.

Worth the time and money
I really enjoyed the very organized and clear UI. I very much appreciate the weekly reminders, too. The Meditate Together app helped me to meditate more frequently by offering an easy on-ramp to the practice at any hour of the day. I especially appreciated my teacher, Piero Falci. What an experienced and wise leader he is!! His humor and down-to-earth attitude made the MBSR course a treat to attend every week. It’s been a month since it ended and I miss the class.

I am a therapist who took MBSR for CEU's and for personal wellness. I had a great experience with this course. All sessions ran on time, had good communication, and the user portal was easy to navigate. My CEU's were available within 24 hours of finishing the course. The wide variety of times that classes were offered were one of the main reasons I chose Mindful Leader and I have no regrets. I would recommend to others who want to explore MBSR for personal or professional reasons.

Peter is an amazing teacher and facilitator. I learned so much from him. He is supportive, engaging, and intelligent. I learned many tools that I can use in my daily life. It is obvious that Peter cares deeply for MBSR and the participants.

Beautiful silent retreat
I love Piero! I took a retreat for the first time ever and it was beautiful. At the beginning, I was hesitant about the silent part, but as the day went on, I enjoyed every minute. I believe everybody should go take a space every now and then as an act of self-love and consciousness.

Hi Carolina,
Stepping into the unknown for that first retreat can be hard, and it’s wonderful to hear that your initial hesitation transformed into a sense of peace and enjoyment. We agree that taking these moments for ourselves is essential for a conscious life, and we hope to see you again in the future.

Finding myself in stillness
First, it surpassed my expectations because I didn't think an online retreat could be as impactful as an in-person one.
More importantly, Piero was absolutely wonderful and kind. His instructions were soft and gentle, while simultaneously being clear and insightful. He strikes the perfect balance between neuroscience-proven MBSR and a touch of 'heartfulness,' which is just as important as mindfulness.
I was trying to find a part of myself I thought I had lost, or that didn't exist, and I found more than that in the stillness and serenity of the day.
Thank you so much; I will be on the lookout for the next retreats!

Being in retreat with Piero is a gift
Being in retreat with Piero is a gift. Just hearing his voice offers deep relaxation. He is in the moment, welcoming, is a talented poet and appreciative of other poets whose poems he reads with warmth, compassion and knowledge. His teaching is nonjudgmental, warm, delightful and filled with inspiring and helpful guidance throughout the day. He shares physical exercises with grace and openness. I started the retreat with some anxiety from everyday life and by the end of the day I felt melted. Thank you Piero and Mindful Leader.
