The Engaged Mindfulness Institute (EMI), formerly Peacemaker Institute, was founded in 2001. The Institute delivers trainings developed from a rich tradition of spiritually grounded, contemplative and mindfulness-based peace and social change work and the latest developments in neuroscience based leadership training. The Institute specializes in training professionals and volunteers who support at-risk individuals and communities and underserved populations. Mindfulness is foundational to all of our trainings. EMI developed and offers two mindfulness-based models for intervention: Mindfulness-Based Emotional Intelligence (MBEI)™ training and Mindfulness-Based Wellness & Resiliency (MBWR)™ training.
