About mountain mind project
The mission of Mountain Mind Project is to redefine mental health as deep relationship; deep relationship to self, to others, and to the natural world. Our programs consist of two frameworks of mindfulness training: therapeutic or performance.
Since 2015, as Mountain Mind Project, Sasha Dingle has been bringing evidence-based mindfulness programs to the Jackson Hole community and beyond. We are leading the field of contemporary mindfulness by providing mind fitness training grounded in ancient wisdom, contemplative neuroscience and clinical studies, yet responsive and modified to each client’s life.
Our clients are:
going through life transition or ready to make a change
facing illness, chronic pain or stress
athletes preparing for competition or post-injury
mental health providers, educators or coaches looking to use mindfulness with their clients
Our aim is every mind empowered to engage with life.
Mindfulness
Mindfulness is a type of meditation that specifically builds the brain areas related to focus, self-awareness, resilience, and empathy.
Mindfulness provides an alternative to autopilot. It opens up novel, creative solutions and the possibility of choice. Habitual thought patterns push and pull you until you strengthen the skills of attention and emotional intelligence.
Different from a relaxation or calming exercise, mindfulness develops the ability to be with a wider variety of experience without adding reactivity or avoidance.
Our group programs and coaching are centered around the highly respected and empirically-supported Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction program.
Our TRAINERS
Our mindfulness trainers adhere to the highest standards of professional development, deep practice, continuing education and ongoing mentorship. They live the practice and test their minds in their various arenas of work, life, or sport.

VALUES
HUMAN POTENTIAL
The growing body of scientific research on neuroplasticity supports our belief that across the lifespan anything worth getting better at can be trained. We facilitate positive change by empowering individuals to maximize their own innate capabilities of mind, while leveraging strengths and supporting each person as the expert on their own life.
EVIDENCE-BASED EXCELLENCE
Our courses are grounded in neuroscience and clinical research, and best practices in the field of mindfulness. Our instructors follow the international standards for certifying mindfulness professionals: thousands of lifetime hours of meditation, a commitment to ongoing daily practice, annual retreat attendance, mentorship and continuing education.
ADAPTABILITY
We remain creative and nimble in the ways that we deliver our online and in-person training in order to respond and meet the unique needs of diverse audiences. We endeavor to provide methodology that is applicable to more than one community, country, or moment in history in order to meet the full experience of what it means to be human.
ACCESSIBILITY
Headquartered in the mountain west, we recognize that rural and indigenous communities are the heart of the mountains that serve as our inspiration. In this spirit, we commit to including developing regions and underserved populations of the world in the audiences that we serve.
