Innovations in Mindfulness Fieldbook

The Fieldbook for Mindfulness Innovators was written in 2019 and was the spark that led to the Innovations in Mindfulness Awards. It has supported much valuable work in the intervening years, and has been revised and updated in 2024. Read or download it below for free, and if you want to share your response to it, why not submit a short blog piece for our community page?

If you prefer to purchase a printed version of the Fieldbook, it is available through Blackwell's in the UK, bol.com in the Netherlands, and internationally via Amazon.
