A Community-Centric Framework for Learning, Teaching, and Sharing Mindfulness

In Open MBSR: Reimagining the Future of Mindfulness, author Mo Edjlali charts a bold new path for mindfulness-based stress reduction. Building on Jon Kabat-Zinn's foundational work, this book addresses the systemic challenges undermining mindfulness today, from power concentration and Buddhist entanglement to rigid frameworks and one-dimensional thinking.

Drawing from diverse sources including, the Agile Methodology, Quaker traditions and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Edjlali offers a transformative framework built on open collaboration, collective wisdom, and genuine secular integrity.

Inside, you'll discover:

  • Clear-eyed critique of the challenges facing contemporary mindfulness
  • Framework bridging neuroscience, psychology, and contemplative practice with secular clarity
  • Practical strategies for adapting mindfulness programs across diverse settings and populations
  • Open-source principles for collaborative learning and community-driven development
Written for meditation teachers, mindfulness program administrators, and wellness professionals, Open MBSR provides a unifying and adaptable framework for evolving mindfulness teachings and practices to meet contemporary needs.
