A few weeks ago (wow, time flies by fast!), a woman came to our school to talk about an organization she founded call Mindful Medicine Worldwide. It’s an organization that’s setting up integrative clinics all over the world, and they also require of their volunteers to engage in a mindfulness practice of some sort (which personally I think is really awesome).

One of the unique thing about this organization is that volunteers don’t have to pay to participate. Some organizations (like Acupuncturists without Borders) require a large donation from people who want to donate their time, this really limits who is able to participate. They do require participants to cover the cost of airfare and fundraise for medical supplies (fair enough, and they match the money you raise).

I mostly just wanted to spread the word about this organization. It’s an opportunity I hope to one day participate in.
