MINDFULNESS MEDITATION TEACHER TRAINING

Accepting applications now for September 2024 cohort.

Please read prerequisites below (Section 3) before applying.

If any of these describe you, you are in the right place:

  • you are considering teaching and have questions *;

  • you are a mindfulness/meditation teacher and need guidance on specific areas;

  • you wish to work on your embodiment, technique, inquiry or other skills;

  • you are looking for 1:1 attention to mentor you in service of others you wish to teach, or a structured teacher intensive.

    Becoming a mindfulness teacher is often a selfless, heartfelt work. It is truly an embodied experience to become a practitioner and transfer the knowledge to others. It is not a process to rush. It will take multiple years, dedication to personal practice, and multiple steps in your teaching practice to become the best teacher possible.

    That said, see where you are on your journey so far and set realistic milestones. It can be done.

    I will do my best to understand your readiness at this time, before inviting you to make the financial investment and the time commitment.

Section 1: Consulting and Advising on Your Teaching Path


* If you are at the start of your teacher training path, considering this path, unsure of options, have questions, want advice, and need to create a roadmap for your teaching career, you will benefit from the deep dive advising and professional consulting session. >> BOOK HERE.

I offer two choices for those who are on the path of MINDFULNESS and meditation teaching or training. Depending on your situation, current experience and qualifications, one may be a better choice. If you are interested in taking both, while each situation is unique, I typically do not recommend doing them concurrently.


Why should you consider working with me and How will it benefit you?

In addition to being an experienced and seasoned teacher, I have a vast array of teacher and trainer training and certifications under my belt. I work with a variety of populations, with a focus on bringing sensitivity to context, culture and trauma awareness. I mentor, teach and train potential and experienced mindfulness and meditation teachers in academic and non-academic settings. I am seasoned and experienced in leading and giving courses in variety of curriculums. I have created many curriculums of my own, or as result of custom requests. I have been a mindfulness practitioner for over 40 years. My past training students include graduate and post graduate students, doctors, therapists, counselors, psychologists, social workers educators, meditation teachers, yoga teachers, organizational educators and leaders, and others who wish to deepen their own MINDFULNESS practice and educate others in a socially responsible way.
