PIERO FALCI – Mindfulness Meditation and Mindful Living Instructor

I am an educator, a Mindfulness Meditation and Mindful Living teacher, a Mindfulness-Based life coach, and an author.

I teach the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program, the Center for Mind Body Medicine (CMBM) model, and the Mindfulness in Schools Project’s (MiSP) curriculum for teenagers.

I received my full certification to teach MBSR from the Center for Mindfulness at Brown University School of Public Health and at the Center for Mindfulness in Medicine, Health Care, and Society at the University of Massachusetts Medical School.

I teach MBSR at the Jupiter Medical Center in Florida, and also online through Mindful Leader.

I am a student of Buddhism, and I am constantly exploring, learning, and teaching. I lead an online sangha that meets regularly during the week for meditations, dharma talks, and sharing. I encourage people to share their insights and I’ve found that we learn a lot from one another.

I am a board member of the Academy of Heart and Mind—AHAM Education, and AHAM’s Representative on Sustainability and Regeneration to the United Nations Economic and Social Council.

I wrote several books, including the 6-book series, “A Better Life in a Better World” exploring how mindfulness can help us save us from ourselves and, perhaps, save life on our planet.

I created and teach a variety of courses on how to apply mindfulness for greater personal and collective joy and well-being.

I am a life coach and I counsel individuals through my mindfulness-based life coaching sessions. My coaching is based, primarily, on what I have learned from studying and teaching Mindfulness Meditation and Mindful Living, Joseph Campbell’s “Heros’ Journey,” Positive Psychology and the Science of Happiness, Mindful Self-Compassion, and Mindful and Nonviolent Communication.

I lead Insight Meditation Silent Retreats and organize Silent Peace Walks.

Given my preoccupation with the ecological crises, I have co-created and co-facilitate the b.Nature programs and retreats which focus on getting participants to develop an understanding of our communion with Nature and the need to get active to protect it and save life, all life.

I consider myself an explorer of the mysteries of life. I love to observe, reflect, and write. I aspire to live a life that matters, and I hope to inspire others to do the same. I believe that the inner work that leads to personal awakening and transformation is indispensable to create a better world for all. I am devoted to taking individuals on journeys where they can have insights that may expand selflessness and compassion and lead to the growth of kindness and care for all sentient beings and the natural environment that we so desperately need. I consider myself a promoter of peace and harmony who believes in advancing the idea that Heaven is here if we want it to be, and if we allow it to be.

An important role in my life was that of Program Director of the nonprofit One Planet United whose objective was to teach people to embrace diversity, promote unity, and create community. Before teaching mindfulness, I designed and taught several diversity, equity, and inclusion programs in corporations, civic groups, and schools.

For many years, I occupied upper management positions in the corporate world doing business internationally. I studied Business Administration and Urban and Regional Economics in Brazil, Economic Development and Planning in Italy, and Public Administration in Japan.

I was born in Brazil and after living there I spent time in Italy, Japan, and Argentina before settling in the United States in 1998. I speak four languages.

I have been journeying on this planet for more than seven decades and I feel very fortunate and grateful for having the opportunity to learn, practice, and teach mindfulness. I love what I do.

I am happily married. I live in Boston with my wife, and we have two sons, two daughters-in-law, one granddaughter, and one granddog.

Life is good.
