Wisdom teachings meet economic activity

We are people from all sectors of the economy who practice meditation and mindfulness.

We are entrepreneurs, freelancers, professionals, managers, and employees from a wide variety of industries.

Friends of the network work in all areas of our economy. We bring meditation and mindfulness to companies and business schools. We advise organizations and teach proven mental training methods for everyday professional life. The Mindful Business Network provides a space for community where we can exchange ideas with like-minded individuals and mutually strengthen and inspire one another.

We are aware that the personal embodiment of mindfulness, focus, compassion, and inner freedom has the strongest impact—on ourselves and our environment, which so urgently needs these mental strengths.

Active members of the network establish thematic, regional, or international circles to deepen their practice within a supportive community. We are specifically examining Buddhist wisdom for healing alternatives to what we are currently experiencing in many economic issues – knowing that "the economy" doesn't originate outside of us, but is deeply rooted in our personal beliefs and micro-actions.

We all create our economy together and can change it together.

The network was founded by students of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh. The mindfulness training methods taught by Thich Nhat Hanh form the basis of our shared practice, and the 14 mindfulness exercises of the Order of Interbeing guide our actions.

Currently, the majority of NAW network members have their spiritual home in the tradition of Thich Nhat Hanh, but we are explicitly open to all Buddhist traditions and practitioners who have found their way to mindfulness and Dharma through MBSR (Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction).

We see Dharma, the Buddhist teachings, as a precious treasure that we want to offer to our society as a gift.
