The mission of Mindful Living is to be a catalyst for societal change by promoting mindfulness as a transformative tool. Founded to meet the growing demands of businesses and educational organizations, with a special dedication to implementing sustainable projects that provide consistent and lasting benefits.
The Founder
António Costa, the founder of Mindful Living, has a remarkable 25-year journey in the banking sector, one of society's most competitive markets.
During this period, António not only worked in management areas but also dedicated himself to the passionate study of human behavior. In the year 2000, this passion led him to formally deepen his knowledge in the field, which culminated in a transformative decision in 2017: he decided to make a radical career change, dedicating himself entirely to teaching and practicing mindfulness.
Since then, he has applied his knowledge to help individuals, businesses, and educational institutions live more consciously and balanced lives.
In an increasingly connected and aware world, companies need to humanize themselves in order to create genuine bonds with employees and customers. Valuing empathy, well-being and dialogue strengthens the organizational culture and generates trust.
A practical example of unconscious bias in the corporate environment is when a manager, when reviewing CVs, tends to choose candidates with names that are more “familiar” or similar to his own, without realizing that he is excluding diverse talent. This can limit diversity and innovation in the team, even if there is no discriminatory intent.Mindfulness: cognitive behavioral training with success in the business world, aimed at reducing stress and anxiety, resilience, focus, reducing conflicts and dissatisfaction and increasing compassion.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
“The MBSR course was one of the greatest and best discoveries I've made in my life!
It's not just about knowing how to meditate, stop, reduce stress or be more aware...
It's about an internal transformation that makes Mindfulness a way of being in life, not only because of its benefits but also because of the way we come to see and observe our surroundings.
I loved the experience of taking this course and that's also down to António, who is extremely competent and has an empathy that makes anyone fall in love with Mindfulness.
I recommend it 100%. I would do it all again! Thank you.”
“It's hard to find the right words to describe what the ‘discover your path’ course has brought me, both personally, professionally and in so many other areas of my life. I found the peace and tranquillity I had been looking for for a long time.
It's incredible how, in 12 weeks, I've changed my job, changed my lifestyle, started to see my day-to-day life as a pleasant gift, learning to give love and receive happiness.
António is a dedicated, attentive, insightful professional, always with the right word and the right exercise at every moment. He has formatted this course so well that every week I feel myself growing spiritually and this is reflected in every aspect of my life. I went into this course not really knowing what I was getting into, but now I'm sure it was one of the best decisions of my life.
Thank you for everything António!”
“It was a privilege to have had the opportunity to meet you and to do the mindfulness training!
I usually listen to music when I go to train. However, yesterday I chose to leave everything at home and swap music for contemplation and mindfulness.
It started to rain and I just ran around enjoying the present moment, the touch of the rainwater, the smell, the sounds and the night lights around me.
It's so comforting to feel alive.
I'm very grateful for what I learned in the training and that it has brought me more moments like the one I've described.”
“Practicing the Mindfulness course was a unique experience that I had never had before.
It allowed me to share an inner experience of discovery with others. Through the practice of meditation and the fusion of the meeting of the mind integrated with the body, it enabled the sensitive exploration of a perception of what surrounds me, lived in a more “conscious and full” way.
Love, compassion for ourselves, without blame or judgment, makes it possible to savor giving ourselves to others, with more availability and without resentment. This surrender of heart, of will, manages to overcome barriers and reach the smallest part of our “being”. It was in this constant search that life provides that the course helped me, with patience and gratitude, in my quest to be happy and to savor life in its “essence”.
Thank you very, very much for sharing your discoveries on this personal journey...”
“First of all, I would like to thank you for the opportunity to take part in the training.
It was a particularly profound training for me, as I realized that we have everything within us.
This insight made me realize my true responsibility, because our personal practice is the basis of everything.
I understood more about the importance of our sensitive processes and our position as facilitators to guide people through their process in an ethical way.
I also learned how to guide mindfulness practices better.
António's attitude is truly inspiring to me, as is his way of transmitting teachings and the teachings themselves that I had the opportunity to learn.
In this training, I realized that I am making my way, step by step, and I know that this is a lifelong path.
I feel very grateful to have had the opportunity to live this experience. Thank you very much.”
