Copper Beech is a global community of practice that helps you cultivate mindfulness, compassion, and resilience so you can reconnect with the things that matter most. From daily practices, to weekly brave space conversations, to social justice initiatives, to Facilitator Certification, to Transformative Leadership, to our ever-expanding catalogue of courses, retreats, and workshops — there’s something for everyone here.
Copper Beech Institute is a global community that empowers the human spirit to flourish by standing courageously at the intersection of mindfulness practice, social justice, and compassionate action.
In our community, mindfulness is a way of life that transforms not only individuals, but stirs action at every level of our society, affecting a healing shift in how we relate to one another and the earth.
We work everyday to create a space where everyone is welcome, accepted, and valued along their journey of growth.
