Our Teaching Level 1 course aims to support participants to begin developing a safe and effective mindfulness teaching practice.

This course:

  • provides participants with opportunities to lead guided practices and enquiry with fellow participants in a safe environment. Feedback is from self, fellow participants and tutors.
  • takes place over two weekends spread out over a three-month period and aims to support participants to begin developing a safe and effective mindfulness teaching practice.
  • emphasises the requirement for participants to be able to embody mindfulness and compassion while teaching mindfulness training courses. The key skill is learning to stay fully present as you lead guided practices and enquiry. This skill depends entirely upon a sustained and regular personal mindfulness practice.

This course is designed for those who have completed at least the Mindfulness Level One Training and is a foundation for those who wish to go on to do the MBLC Teaching Skills retreat to learn to teach our 8 week MBLC course. If you have already trained to teach mindfulness, for example in MBSR or MBCT, and would like to train to teach our 8 week Mindfulness Based Living Course (MBLC) you will need to complete an MBLC 8 week course or attend at least weekends 2 and 3 of the Level 1 Mindfulness Level One: Being Present in order to familiarise yourself with aspects of the MBLC curriculum which are not present in MBSR or MBCT before completing the MBLC Retreat.

Tutors: Heather Regan-Addis , Jacky Seery and Kristine Janson
Dates:
 3-5 July and 25-27 September 2020
