Looking deep together

We are committed to an economy that serves life.

For workplaces where people can flourish – awake, present, and connected.

For leadership that arises from inner clarity and acts from compassion.

For organizations that see trust, creativity, and leisure not as luxuries, but as the foundation of their success.

We are committed to a society in which consumption is conscious, money flows responsibly, and success is measured not by speed, but by meaning, impact, and humanity.

We practice living a culture of togetherness:
in which listening is more important than To prevail,
in which humanity is not a means to an end,
in which our decisions contribute to reducing suffering and increasing joy.

We practice creating an economy from mindfulness – from a clear mind, an open heart, and the awareness that we are all interconnected.

This is how an economy is created that sows healing seeds.
For us. For others. For future generations.

The association develops initiatives on topics such as leadership style, mindful consumption, handling money, mindful organization, and successful collaboration. The goal is a long-term cultural shift towards an economy that prioritizes purpose over profit.

This makes our work a project of the century or millennium: ambitious in its goal, patient in its pace, driven by the confidence that every small, beneficial step is part of a much larger transformation.

In our statutes, we have defined the following purposes of the association:

(1) To promote mindfulness, compassion, understanding, and wisdom among members through the organization and implementation of meditation gatherings, retreats, ceremonies, and other events for practicing and deepening Buddhist practice, as well as for exchanging information on the application of Buddhist practice.

(2) The shared meditation and mindfulness practice of members.

(3) The innovative development of Buddhist methods and insights for our time and our economy.

(12) Supporting and establishing NAW initiative and regional groups.

(13) Initiating projects and knowledge and practice communities in the field of mindful business (e.g., "Mindfulness in Organizations")

(14) Further developing our core topics through our own research, research collaborations, and other suitable methods and projects.

(15) Developing and disseminating proven methods of mindful business (e.g., "A-L-I").

(20) To finance these tasks, the association collects membership fees and donations.

We are concerned with everything that contributes to a mindful, humane, and responsible economy. We are inspired by Buddhist wisdom teachings.

Our topics include mindful leadership, mindful work principles, a healthy approach to consumption and money, mindfulness in the digital world, and wholesome entrepreneurship.

We are working on an economy that creates meaning, connects people, and does not harm.

You can participate in our regional groups, online meetings, workshops, or retreats. You can find an overview on our "Circle" page.

All offerings are open to people who want to bring mindfulness into their economic activities.

Simply drop by, log in, practice along, and engage in the exchange.

Once you get to know the network better and find its values ​​and practice methods inspiring, and practice them in your own life, you can consider initiating a Circle (regional, thematic, etc.) that enriches our community.

One ​​of our most important exercises is to smile at our own imperfections, to recognize our inner critic, and not to take our surroundings too seriously.

One ​​of the paradoxes of mindfulness practice is that with growing self-awareness, we recognize more and more areas in which we ourselves are not acting mindfully. This awareness and acceptance of our own imperfections makes it easier for us to see the flaws and imperfections of others and not to judge ourselves or others, but instead to understand them better.

Personally, you support us by seeing yourself as part of the change and practicing mindful business practices in your everyday life and work, embodying them in your thoughts and actions in the long term.

You support our vision of a mindful economy by embracing the Mindful Business Commitment and applying it to your life.

Or by sharing your experiences and inviting others to our community and our events.

Your donation and regular financial support help us pursue our long-term goals, launch projects, and organize and coordinate our community.
