Teaching Mindfulness with Skill and Confidence

Program Overview

Teaching Mindfulness with Skill and Confidence is a five-session course designed to bring MBSR and MBI teachers together for skill-building, dialogue on teaching topics, and community. In this “teachers’ meeting” format, there will be structured learning activities, opportunities for presenting/offering teaching, and discussion on matters that are alive in your teaching. You will be encouraged to self-assess and offer/receive feedback with your peers. Specific learning goals will be outlined by the instructor and determined by the group.

This course is intended for MBSR and MBI teachers with a fundamental level of formal MBSR training and some practical teaching experience. Once you register, we’ll ask you to complete a pre-course written interview.

The only other requirement is a willingness to learn and grow in the good company of fellow teachers.

This course will be taught by Margaret Fletcher.
