Cultivating A Mindful Community
The Wisdom House is a nonprofit dedicated to supporting and growing the mindfulness community. People of all ages and from all walks of life find clarity, wisdom and contentment from the practices of mindfulness. Today we know more than ever about the science behind these practices and their positive effect on emotional well-being, health, relationships, and life choices. With confidence that mindfulness can serve our community in uniquely profound ways, Wisdom House supports and funds mindfulness programs and teachers to cultivate a thriving and expanding mindfulness community.

Mindful Schools Courses Database
Mindful Schools has gone out of business but the good news is we have preserved the database with the content of five of the courses, including 160 videos. We are very proud that we helped more than 100 educators, including 10 “Year Long” leaders, be licensed to teach Mindful Schools curriculum. The course materials are available to Mindful Schools licensed educators and to our team. If you are interested in these courses please contact us.
Sponsor Our Students
Our student interns have designed “Uncage Your Heart and Mind” T-shirts and would love to also have curriculum books. Your gift of $35 would make that possible.
Mediation & Mindfulness
Aaron Weiner presented at the Nebraska Mediation Association’s Annual Meeting. Wisdom House will make available copies of the book and provide programming around “Managing Conflict Mindfully” at our camp. The book incorporates Mindfulness and Internal Family Systems with traditional mediation techniques. Continuing Legal Education credits (CEU & MCLE) will be available during summer camp.
Mindfulness Book Sharing
Take a Book and/or Bring a book. These mindfulness books will be shelved for sharing at Astute Coffee, Omaha’s Social Enterprise Coffeehouse.

The Two Wings of Mindfulness
“The awareness that emerges through paying attention on purpose, in the present moment, and nonjudgmentally to the unfolding of experience moment by moment.”
