A MINDFULNESS JOURNEY
A warm welcome! My name is Mai Miles. I am a Mental Health Nurse and a Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) teacher, certified by the Mindfulness Center at Brown University.
My mindfulness journey began in 2013 at the Duke Integrative Medicine Center in Durham.
At the time, I was feeling stressed, isolated, and grieving after our family’s move from India to North Carolina, USA. Fortunately, I discovered a mindfulness drop-in class in Durham, and from that very first session, I have never stopped practicing mindfulness.
These classes were profoundly healing and inspired me to create a similar space for others.
After just one year in the USA, we moved to Kuwait, where we lived for six wonderful years. During our time there, I began teaching MBSR and was deeply humbled by the warm welcome and love I received from both expatriates and Kuwaitis. I am still very proud and humbled to have been the first MBSR teacher in Kuwait. I taught over twenty 8-week courses, offering mindfulness instruction in private companies, Al Shaheed Park, schools, and hospitals.
In 2020, we returned to Denmark, where I am currently teaching online.
With love,
Mai

“Thank you for inviting strangers into your home so that they could find their home within themselves"
Eman, Kuwait
"I used to be tense, impatient, and often rushing myself without giving myself any time to linger. After joining MBSR, I am more calm, take time to respond, and meditation is my best daily recharge".
Tammy, USA and Kuwait
Mai takes care of each student as a seedling, tending to us individually, wanting us to learn all we can and grow from the experience. She genuinely wants us to find what we need to learn from the course and our practice, become our own teachers, and take the experience forward for ourselves and others. I see her as a gardener cultivating the culture of mindfulness in Kuwait as a whole".
