Julianna Raye
Julianna Raye has been training individuals and groups in the Unified Mindfulness system for nearly two decades. She is devoted to deepening people’s understanding of research-supported mindfulness and empowering anyone to guide others in its practice.
As CEO, lead content developer and head trainer at Unified Mindfulness, she is dedicated to disseminating Shinzen Young’s comprehensive mindfulness meditation system through the creation and presentation of educational programs and teacher-training certification programs.
With more than 120 weeks of immersive silent retreat training in both the mindfulness and Zen traditions, Julianna has completed over 20,000 hours of formal retreat practice, in addition to countless hours outside of extended retreats. Her brain has been studied in neuroscience labs at Vanderbilt, UNM, and in a published UCLA study comparing long-term meditator’s brains with those of non-meditators.
Julianna designed and led the training for a workplace research study carried out with noted mindfulness researcher David Creswell, PhD. out of Carnegie Mellon University. That study showed positive outcomes with regards to improved employee well being and lower stress.
Papers Julianna co-authored were published in two prominent science journals: Mindfulness, and the Journal of Occupational Health Psychology. A novel aspect of that study was an emphasis on the application of mindfulness techniques in daily life, which is a strength of the Unified Mindfulness system
