More Mindfulness for
More People in More Places

The Wisdom House Collaborative is an Omaha-based non-profit working to bring more mindfulness to more people in more places throughout Nebraska. It’s as simple as that.

We want to cultivate our area’s mindfulness community by connecting people who are practicing, teaching and interested in mindfulness with resources, programs, organizations and training — and just as importantly by connecting them with each other. 

A primary focus is cultivating well-being and mindfulness among students and teachers by providing mindfulness programming for schools and community. .

Our values are Clarity, Compassion, Collaboration, Community, Goodwill and Generosity.

“After 25 years practicing law, I wanted to take the opportunity to co-found the Wisdom House ​as a nonprofit helping steward mindfulness practice in our community. I am currently furthering my formal mindfulness training, deepening my practice and reaching out to cultivate resources and ​support for the Wisdom House mission.”

Aaron Weiner Executive Director & Co-Founder

With the support of family and friends, the Weiner and Crosby families began the Wisdom House Collaborative in 2015. 

The Wisdom House is a nonprofit dedicated to supporting and growing the mindfulness community. People of all ages and from all walks of life find clarity, wisdom and contentment from the practices of mindfulness. Today we know more than ever about the science behind these practices and their positive effect on emotional well-being, ​health, relationships, and life choices. With confidence that mindfulness can serve our community in uniquely profound ways, Wisdom House supports and funds mindfulness programs and teachers to cultivate a thriving and expanding mindfulness community.
