In a world of constant demands and unending distractions, it's easy to lose sight of the serenity and peace that lie within you. The truth is, much of our stress and discontentment originates from our own minds. We may blame external circumstances, but the real source of our happiness or unhappiness lies within.
Everything is shaped by our minds. When we aren’t aware of our minds and don’t understand how our minds work, we tend to get carried away by our thoughts and emotions, and we often suffer because of it. We get entangled in the constant stream of thoughts, emotions, worries, fears, anxieties, plans, expectations, doubts, regrets, judgments and stories, and we lose touch with the present moment, overlooking the precious moments of our lives.
As a result, we struggle to feel at ease and at peace in our lives and are constantly rushing ahead to the next moment, and the next moment, hardly ever stopping to appreciate and enjoy this moment — and this is a BIG problem, because this moment is your life, and if you aren't in touch with it, you'll miss it.
Mindfulness is the practice of paying attention to the present moment, on purpose, and without judgment. It is to be conscious and awake to the reality of our lives as they are unfolding moment-by-moment. Through practicing mindfulness, we not only experience reality with more clarity, but also gain insight into our experience and to what is occurring within us and around us, allowing us to live our lives with greater wisdom and understanding, so we can experience more peace and happiness, and less stress and dissatisfaction.
Mindfulness has grown a lot in popularity. However, it is still misunderstood by many of the people who attempt to practice it. This training is rooted in the ancient wisdom of the Buddha, teaching you mindfulness in its original context as a practice of inner transformation and awakening.
Based on the ancient teaching of the Four Foundations of Mindfulness, this training helps you master your mind and emotions with practical and time-tested mindfulness techniques.
Peace comes from within, but most of us seek it in external things. This course will show you how you can generate your own inner peace and happiness through mindfulness, meditation, and self-understanding.

Joseph P. Kauffman is an author, mindfulness teacher, and the founder of Conscious Collective. He has published 9 books on mindfulness, meditation, and spirituality.
At age 16, Joseph had a spontaneous mystical experience that gave him a deep insight into the oneness of life. After this experience, he began passionately studying and practicing Eastern philosophy and spirituality.
Joseph has studied extensively the philosophies of various schools of Buddhism, Zen, Yoga, Vedanta, Taoism, and Shamanism and has sought to integrate these ancient philosophies with modern understandings of psychology, neurology, and physics. His curiosity to learn has drawn him to travel abroad and study in India, China, Japan, Nepal, Peru and Guatemala, participating in numerous trainings and retreats and learning from many different teachers and traditions.
Joseph’s journey has brought him to a deep understanding of life and of the importance of mindfulness and meditation as tools for self-discovery and liberation. Now, it’s Joseph's mission to share the wisdom he has received from his studies and to help people experience greater happiness, health, connection and freedom in their lives.
“Learning meditation with Joseph has helped me transform my life. He's a great teacher. I have incorporated his teachings into my everyday routine, and I carry that inner peace I have always craved and bring a new level of focus and intention to each day.”
-Adam Healey, West Virginia
Joseph is an excellent guide, transmitting serenity and kindness in every moment with his words and his presence. I feel very grateful to him. I would recommend anyone who has the intention to grow to experiment with this practice because it is the experience itself that can help us transform the information into knowledge.

Joseph was a kind, receptive teacher with much wisdom. His energy provided a space of comfort throughout the whole session. Personally, I had never experienced anything like this and have much gratitude for having gotten a chance to experience it. It was a simple process, yet one that proved to be very, very powerful.
