We’re delighted to share this SUNY Center for Professional Development Instructor Spotlight featuring our Founding Director, Dr. Lisa Napora, and her work teaching Mindful Leadership across the SUNY system.
The questions Lisa explores through this work are also central to our work at The Mindfulness Alliance: How might awareness-based practices support not only individual wellbeing, but collective wellbeing? What becomes possible as we move from separateness toward interconnectedness—from me to we?
Through practice and practice-in-action, we explore how greater awareness can shape the ways we relate, participate, and create together—opening new possibilities for cultures of greater care, connection, and collective wellbeing.
