This is an in-depth training retreat over five days exploring each of the stages of the MBLC 8-week course. There is a strong focus on participants getting ‘hands on’ experience of delivering course. This course explores the rationales behind the practices and the way they fit together as a whole.  It is suitable for those who have completed Teaching Level 1 and then 6 months of informal teaching practice under supervision. It is also suitable for trained Mindfulness teachers of other approaches, such as MBSR and MBCT, who are familiar through practice with the MBLC course curriculum.

Feedback from participants and tutors on this course is given with reference to the domains of the Mindfulness Based Interventions Teaching Assessment Criteria (MBI-TAC), which are explored during this retreat. Live sessions delivered by the participants will be self-assessed by the participants and discussed with tutors who will also make an assessment. Participants meeting the advanced beginner level of the MBI-TAC will be awarded a certificate of readiness to teach the MBLC at the end of this retreat. Successful completion of this retreat provides participants with all they need to begin to deliver the MBLC 8 week course.


Times: The retreat starts at 3pm on Tuesday 15th January 2019 and ends after lunch on Sunday 20th January 2019

Cost: £430.00 including manual. If you cancel this retreat less than eight weeks before the start date your retreat fee will not be refunded. However it may be possible to transfer to a subsequent retreat for an administrative fee of £100.00
