Because Every Collective Begins with a Human Being

When people feel supported to pause, breathe, and bring their whole authentic selves to work and life, everyone benefits. At the Global MINDS Collective, we help individuals and organizations cultivate mindful practices, leadership and innovation fostering cultures of self-care and shared wellbeing.
WHAT WE DO

We offer mindfulness-based programs and mindful leadership and social innovation trainings that help individuals slow down, manage stress, and reconnect with themselves, with one another and with what matters most - so they can live with greater intention and embody and enact positive change in their lives, work, and communities. Our approach blends secular mindfulness and social-emotional skills, making the practices accessible, relevant, and grounded in real-world settings.

2025 Highlights

In collaboration with Minds of London-Middlesex we launched the very first Mindful Social Innovation 12-Session Program, bringing together cross-sector leaders and Lived Experience Advisors to co-create solutions to mental health and addiction challenges. Three teams completed final pitches and received $1,500 each to advance their community-based solutions, strengthening participants’ capacity to navigate complex systems with mindfulness, collaboration, and care.
MINDFUL SOCIAL INNOVATION
Our Founder, Dr. Arlene MacDougall, was invited as a guest speaker at Ontario Police Trainers – Building a Stronger Trainer Network: Empowering Police Trainers to Lead. She spoke on mental health and the neuroscience behind mindfulness, connecting research to real-world police training and reinforcing how evidence-based mindfulness can support psychological health, resilience, and effective leadership in policing environments.

We teamed up with BlendIn Canada, a newcomer-led, grassroots nonprofit founded on lived experience to train facilitators in our Mindfulness Ambassador Program. BlendIn supports newcomers from Black, African, and Middle Eastern communities. Together, this collaboration brings mindfulness and social-emotional learning into newcomer support spaces, helping individuals build resilience, confidence, and a sense of belonging as they navigate life in Canada.

We partnered with the City of Barrie to custom-design a four-part MINDFUL@WORK series as part of their organizational wellness calendar. Sessions focused on mindfulness basics, paying attention, practicing gratitude, and nurturing compassion, and were delivered to staff and leaders across the organization. Two employees were certified through our facilitator training and continue to champion and sustain this work internally.
