Welcome to a global community of intense minds, sensitive hearts, and curious seekers exploring mindfulness. Together.
Guided by gifted coach, neuropsychologist, and mindfulness teacher Kelly Pryde in partnership with InterGifted, the Gifted Mindfulness Collective is a one-of-a-kind virtual mindfulness center for gifted people.
From shared practice and community gatherings to gifted-specific mentoring, guest experts and courses, we're reinventing how mindfulness can support the gifted person's unique experience and desire for authentic growth and connection.
​
Life with gifted intensity is hard;
suffering is optional.
Mindfulness can help.
The intensity and complexity of the gifted mind can lead to many struggles that prevent us from living well and fully with our giftedness. Gifted-specific mindfulness offers us robust tools for meeting these challenges and supporting ourselves and our unique experience in skillful ways...
Gain Insight
into the unique workings of your mind.
Manage Intensity
of overwhelming thoughts, feelings + sensations.
Cultivate Compassion
for yourself + sustainable compassion for others.
Foster Creativity + Intuition
along with other gifted capacities.
Improve Relationships
at home, at work and in life.
(Re)discover Joy + Authenticity
along with intimacy of your gifted self.
Through ongoing curation + co-creation, the GMC provides a gifted-specific space to turn to for mindfulness-based support and growth.
Eastern wisdom, western science and giftedness come together in GMC courses to help you develop mindfulness practices that support your gifted needs.
Whether a curious beginner or seasoned practitioner, find gifted peer support and connection for your practice in the GMC global community.
We're just getting started exploring how mindfulness can support gifted minds on the journey of gifted development. Explore with us!

The Open-Hearted Ampersand
The GMC logo is a sideways ampersand that has several layers of meaning. Firstly, as a symbol for "and," the ampersand represents the inclusive, collaborative nature of the GMC.
The history of the ampersand also has some interesting parallels to the gifted experience. Once considered the 27th letter of the alphabet, the ampersand was quite unusual in its form and function relative to the other 26 letters. It's also a mondegreen - a collection of words ("and per se and") that was routinely misheard and slowly morphed into something different from its original form.
Turned on its side, the ampersand becomes a symbol of open-heartedness representing the spirit in which we come together here. If these meanings resonate for you, welcome!
Explore this free guided meditation led by Kelly Pryde created for I Heart Earth as part of their weekly global meditation series. During the 30 minutes of walking meditation, we explore an intimate connection with Earth as our home - a sanctuary in the midst of chaos.
