Embodied Presence & Inquiry In Practice.

This 5-day Advanced Teacher Training Intensive (ATTI) is for mindfulness-based program (MBP) teachers interested in deepening their facilitation and mindful inquiry skills. It is the final course required as part of the Centre’s MBCT and MBSR Facilitation Certification pathways but is designed for any one who has taught at least two MBPs (MBCT, MBSR, MSC, DBT, ACT, etc.).

In this highly experiential training, participants practise teaching and inquiry, receiving extensive feedback from teachers and colleagues with some emphasis on the language in guidance and inquiry. The enhancement of the teacher’s self-reflective capacity is stressed to ensure they stay close to the core of these mindfulness-based programs – working with their own reactivity and attachment to outcome when this arises in their teaching. Exercises that address a range of emotions and reactions related to their personal and professional teaching experience and to the group MBP experience are provided. We will also address professional and personal ethics as they relate to mindfulness-based programs.
