SUMMARY:Mindful Movement Teacher Training
DESCRIPTION:Train to teach movement practices that unlock mindfulness – so your students can go deeper\, meditate with ease\, and discover embodied presence. \n– Are you a meditation teacher seeking skills to lead movement practices with confidence?\n– Or\, maybe you’re a yoga teacher looking to offer a more contemplative\, mindfulness-based\, and accessible practice?\n– Perhaps you’re a therapist\, health professional\, or educator\, and you have a hunch that simple mindful movement practices could really benefit the people you work with? \nThis training was created with your needs and goals in mind! \nConscious movement can be an effective way to learn mindfulness skills\, like concentration\, balanced effort\, working with sensations\, and observing thoughts and emotions. For many people\, it’s easier to build these “mindfulness muscles” first through movement\, so that they can then be applied in the stillness of meditation (and in daily life\, where the rubber meets the road!). This unique online training is designed to develop your skills in leading movement practices that center mindfulness\, so that your students can learn to be more present for what matters to them. \nWe will take an inter-disciplinary approach\, studying mindfulness teachings from the Buddhist tradition\, as well as movement practices from Yoga\, Somatics\, and Qigong. Each of these modalities offers something unique and valuable to the cultivation of embodied awareness. \nThis 60-hour online training will unfold over six months\, so that you have time to really integrate the teachings and develop your skills. The first live session is October 10\, 2026! Please see the website for further details: https://www.movedtomeditate.yoga/mmtt

SUMMARY:Teaching Presence in Relationship: an Interpersonal Mindfulness teacher training retreat
DESCRIPTION:𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 \nThe residential “Teaching Presence in Relationship” teacher training retreat\, is designed to prepare teachers of mindfulness-based programmes to teach the Interpersonal Mindfulness Programme. This residential training course will take place at the Ammerdown Retreat Centre in Somerset\, near Bath\, from 22 to 30 October 2027. \n𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄\nThe Interpersonal Mindfulness Programme offers participants a systematic method for cultivating mindfulness within the context of their relational lives. Extending practice beyond the personal to the interpersonal and social domains of life allows for healing and growth for everyone. \nThe philosophical and scientific roots of Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction and other mindfulness based-interventions help reduce suffering and and increase wellbeing. They are a force for good in public health\, offering accessible and empowering ways for people to actively participate in their own health and wellness. \nThe Interpersonal Mindfulness Programme goes a step further\, offering a relational mindfulness practice drawn from the foundations of Insight Dialogue (Interpersonal Meditation). Designed specifically to be practiced within live interaction\, this approach cultivates awareness in the midst of relationship\, fostering insight into the stress\, reactivity\, and habitual patterns that arise in connection with others. \n𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁?\nThe residential training is offered over nine days in person at the Ammerdown Retreat Centre. \nThe first two and a half days of this training are presented primarily in retreat form. During this period\, participants will be immersed\, experientially\, in the nine-session course curriculum. Silence is practiced throughout this part of the retreat except when meditators are guided in dialogue together. This immersive\, experiential approach to learning allows participants to internalise the relational meditation guidelines before going on to teach them. \nDuring the subsequent six-day training period\, participants engage in relational practice as well as guiding and being guided in teach-backs and in small and large groups. These interactive exercises deepen participants’ experiential understanding of the meditation guidelines\, contemplative themes\, and cultivate their teaching presence and skill. A comprehensive handbook containing the full curriculum will be supplied to participants to support learning and teaching. \n𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗯𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀\nThe training objectives include: \nCultivating the skills required to guide Insight Dialogue–based practices\, including guidelines\, themes\, and choreographed relational practice sequences;\nDeveloping a theoretical understanding of relational mindfulness methods\, skills and practices;\nExploring and experiencing the six guidelines of Insight Dialogue within the Interpersonal Mindfulness Programme;\nExpanding and enriching teachers’ embodied capacity as a vehicle to communicate and interact effectively with programme participants; \nWho is the training for?\nThe programme is for mindfulness teachers who wish to teach the Interpersonal Mindfulness programme to graduates of an eight-week mindfulness course or to people who have prior meditation experience and the permission of the teacher. The training may also be of interest to health care professionals\, who fulfil the prerequisites\, who wish to deepen their presence in working relationships. \nThe teacher trainers are: Rosalie Dores\, Phyllis Hicks\, Kevin Fong. \nMore info and how to book here: https://sussexmindfulnesscentre.nhs.uk/event/teaching-presence-in-relationship-an-interpersonal-mindfulness-teacher-training/
