The CIH Center for Mindfulness (CFM) was among the first university-based centers around the world devoted solely to the teaching and study of mindfulness. The Center has more than 20 instructors teaching courses to more than 500 participants per year. The CFM is a nationwide leader in training teachers of mindfulness-based interventions, and has been the incubator for several adaptations of mindfulness-based interventions for special populations. It also conducts and collaborates on research on the benefits of mindfulness and compassion training for kids, adults, educators, first responders and law enforcement professionals, cancer patients, people preparing for surgery, and more.

The CFM depends on grants and monetary donations to sustain our operations and expand our reach to new populations. Your donations make it possible for us to offer scholarships to individuals who might otherwise not get to benefit from our programming.

Luis Morones Mindfulness Tribute Fund
It is with deep sadness that we have lost one of our beloved teachers, Luis Morones. Luis was a pioneer in our Center and instrumental in leading our mission to alleviate suffering for all. He was particularly dedicated to spreading the dharma through his teachings to under-represented and diverse communities. His soft-spoken kindness and resolve was as contagious as his compassion for anyone that was lucky to share space with Luis. Luis is a rare gem, a one of kind spirit. I hope we can take all that we have learned and continue to learn from Luis, so that his loving presence can ripple throughout our lives and beyond.
To honor Luis and continue to carry on his passion for providing mindfulness practice for under-represented and diverse groups we have created The Luis Morones Mindfulness Tribute Fund to support these specific groups. If you are interested in donating to this cause, please visit Luis Morones Mindfulness Tribute Fund.
