Martin Lumpkin

Developing Mindfulness requires a

committment to continual practice.

Teaching Mindfulness requires one's own

constant practice and periodic intensive

training and retreats in the reach for ever

deepening insights into mindful living.

Dr. Lumpkin began learning mindfulness

practices in 1982 with Joseph Goldstein

in a week-long retreat hosted by the

Insight Meditation Society (one of the

premiere organizations teaching

mindfulness meditation). He then

attended another week-long retreat with

Joseph Goldstein in 1983. This launched

his journey into a life of mindfulness

practice.

Dr. Lumpkin began integrating

mindfulness approaches into his

psychotherapy practice with some clients

in 2002. He soon started teaching

mindfulness classes at UT Southwestern

Medical Center for both mental

health/medical professionals and for the

lay public.
