Thanks for this great list of resources! Can you please add in Mindful Schools (www.mindfulschools.org) to the Mindfulness-Related Education Centers. While Mindful Schools isn’t a center, they are doing a lot of work getting mindfulness into schools and training adults on mindfulness.
Take care,
Christina
