Now

Mindful Beacon MBZ1 is an online radio station that plays a 24hr schedule of guided meditations, ambient sounds, and podcasts about mindfulness.

A beacon is a tool for navigation.
A community membership gives the structure to go further.
The point is to engage fully with a life well lived.

Origin

Originally, online studio programs were developed as an aftercare protocol for graduates of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) classes by a core group of senior meditation teachers in the Boston area.

Need for mindfulness blossomed, and the audience grew internationally.

Offerings now include podcasts, classrooms, retreats, teacher-training, and of course, radio.

Purpose

Mindful Beacon

The radio station is a broadcasting platform for vetted practices.

Its playlist is curated to be multi-faith and suitable for the full spectrum between atheists and believers.

Mindful Boston

The Boston-based studio produces guided meditation audio recorded during live classrooms.

Recorded audios are freely available via radio and app to any person who wishes to sustain mindful awareness practices in their lives.

Studio membership is available to those who want to participate more fully.

History

Starting in 2009, brick & motor studio locations “Mindful Boston” and “Mindful Cambridge” began offering mindfulness education and MBSR.

Question

But… How to serve a wider audience of people interested in mindfulness for the health and wellness benefits???

Answer

Online classrooms, recorded audio, and zoom access to live meditation teachers!!!

— Recalibrate —

After the intensity of covid lockdown, the studio needed to reset. Resetting to zero and even recalibrating were key for the next steps.

And now, online world-wide membership programs take place under the “Mindful Beacon” name.

The Mindful Beacon radio programs and online studio hosts an updated subscription service for world-wide learning and growing.
