Gail Soffer - Mindful Warrior Project

Gail Soffer is the Founder and Executive Director of the Mindful Warrior Project, a non-profit organization serving veterans, active duty service members, their families, and their service providers. Gail holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from UC Berkeley/Santa Cruz and certifications in a wide range of health, wellness, and healing modalities. She draws on her vast experience working with populations facing challenges and her own decades-long mindfulness practice to bring the simple yet powerful tools of mindfulness to the military-connected community. Empowering this population to participate in its own healing process - from enhancing basic quality of life to easing suffering to bringing the hope and options to prevent suicide - is at the core of the Mindful Warrior Project’s work. Gail participates in many veteran service organization Collaboratives, Boards, and Coalitions, and manages Wellness Areas and Children’s Areas at Stand Downs, Summits, and other large events.
