IAAM Life: Community of Practice Circles
IAAM Life is a community of practice for members in the District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia (DMV). IAAM Life Community of Practice teaches Mindful Living to support the creation of a SAFE and inclusive community for healing and wellness.
Etienne Wenger defines Communities of Practice (CoP) as “groups of people who share a concern or a passion for something they do and learn how to do it better as they interact regularly.”
IAAM Life CoP Circles
IAAM Life CoP provides online mindful living circles and in-person community-wide events.
The Mindful Teen Circles’ mission is to create an inclusive healing-centered community of practice that employs mindfulness to support the psychosocial development of teens (Identity versus Confusion). MTC supports teens by creating a mindful environment to foster (1) physical, (2) mental, (3) social, and (4) emotional well-being.
