Meditation Mob is taking a break on June 17th! 🍉☀️🌊 - Caltech's Meditation Mob has been running for 10+ years!

In 2015, he completed the one-year Certification in Mindfulness Facilitation training through the Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior at UCLA. He has also trained with Dr. Zindel Segal, one of the creators of Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy. Dr. Coleman is a member of the International Mindfulness Teachers Association, and has completed a total of 2 months of silent meditation retreats both in the US and internationally. - We'll be back soon! - #meditation #mindfulness #meditationmob #caltechwellness
