About Us
Our Vision
BMC Academy provides mindfulness-based education for professionals. We enable every coach to use mindfulness and a holistic approach as catalysts for awakened consciousness. The change we want to see in the world begins with the cultivation of embodied practice.
Our Values
Compassion, authenticity and continuous learning and growth are our guiding values. Mindful experiments and coaching competencies are the foundation of our practice. We thrive to support individuals and communities that proactively contribute to topics related to mental health, earth consciousness, diversity & inclusion and peace.
Our Story
BMC Academy came to life after seven years of community building at the Beijing Mindfulness Centre. Nested in the hutongs of an old-style Beijing neighbourhood, this quiet courtyard has seen many generations of practitioners eager to learn how to be better learners, parents, teachers, partners and humans. Through 1:1 and group coaching as well as themed workshops, silent retreats and Mindful Self-Compassion programs BMC is the place for Beijing's international and local community to pause, breathe and connect in common humanity.
The physical Beijing Mindfulness Centre closed in 2023 but the spirit of what its founder, Dalida Turkovic, envisioned lives on in the BMC Academy.
Pause - Breathe - Connect
The Beijing Mindfulness Centre was founded in 2015 with the aim of promoting, teaching and coaching secular mindfulness and mindfulness-based practice for individuals and organizations.
We promote principles of mindful living for mental, physical, emotional and spiritual health. Through mindful communication with the self and others, we create a safe environment for self-expression and interconnectedness. Growth mindset, self-awareness, curiosity, positivity and empathy are our guiding principles.
