transforming how people work, play, & live together
The Mindfulness Alliance serves as a catalyst and community-builder, offering innovative programming in service to the mindful evolution of social systems. We believe that the future of the mindfulness movement lies in fostering the inner movement from me to We, to bring about the changes needed to better serve humanity and the planet.
We are building a unique community of we-focused mindfulness practitioners and change-makers, that spans disciplines and sectors, and embraces all wisdom traditions. We believe that together we can catalyze our collective capacity to foster awareness-based social change for a more flourishing future – where individuals, institutions and systems embody more compassion, justice and inclusivity.
WeShift Institute
The WeShift Institute is an immersive 5-month awareness-based social change program, designed to foster the inner movement from me to We. This first-of-its-kind program is for mindfulness practitioners committed to growing awareness, building connectedness, and creating positive change.
If we are to address the urgent poly-crises of our times, we need to shift our focus from me to We, and activate and unleash our potential to co-create cultures of care, connection, and wellbeing.
This journey changes the way we relate with change and approach change-making, freeing us to respond to the daunting challenges of our times in new ways.
Join us in daring greatly, and igniting the possible.

Transformative Unity
We view the journey from me to We as a movement toward transformative unity, a new concept we define as the type of interdependent unity needed to change the world.
Our new awareness-based model, the Cycle of Transformative Unity brings a quantum perspective to understanding the processes of individual and collective change, expanding our transformation literacy.
This model incorporates the concept of toroidal flow, the dynamic flow of energy in all living things, to support understanding the constantly unfolding, nonlinear, interdependent journey from me-to-We – our collective journey toward transformative unity.
Transformation literacy must go beyond the self, beyond what it takes to navigate individual transformation, toward what it takes to catalyze our collective transformation.
-Lisa Napora, Founding Director
Mindfulness & We
The Mindfulness Alliance supports the movement from me to We, from individual to interconnected, interdependent, and beyond. This is a movement toward transformative unity. Although this movement is already underway, it requires us to be daring. It requires us to: have courage, to excavate our inner archaeology, build our inner infrastructure, cultivate a we-mindset, grow our capacity for connectedness, lean into the power of our contemplative practices, and trust the unfolding process. You can learn more about this journey in our recent publication, Transformation Literacy to Transformative Unity: A Noble Experiment from Me to We.
