Ready to share your passion for mindfulness?

Wondering if teaching mindfulness could be your next step?

Curious about which of our two training programs is right for you?

 Join Executive Director & Lead Teacher Trainer Tim Burnett in this free info session to learn more about our two Teacher Training programs. Tim will review the prerequisites, application processes and content of these trainings, as well as taking any questions you may have. You can also arrange to speak with Tim one-on-one about whether the programs are right for you, at this event or by emailing him at tim@mindfulnessnorthwest.com.

Tim will also be joined by alumni of our teacher training programs who will be there to answer your questions about their experience.

Some of the questions they may touch on include:

  • Which program did you choose and why? The 9-month Mindfulness Teacher Training Program, OR the 2-year Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) Teacher Training Program?
  • What unique value did you experience in Mindfulness Northwest’s training?
  • How manageable was the coursework with your busy life?
  • How has your life changed since completing your training?
  • In what ways have you used your training?

OUR TWO TEACHER TRAINING PROGRAMS

  • Mindfulness Teacher Training Program (MTTP) – Our 9 month program, directed and led by Executive Director, Tim Burnett, lays the foundation for teaching mindfulness, including introductory workshops and trainings. A comprehensive foundation for any aspiring mindfulness teacher, this training thoroughly reviews the ancient roots and modern science of mindfulness, as well as contemporary pedagogical techniques. You’ll complete weekly reading and meditation assignments, practice leading meditations, and learn how to support mindful inquiry, all with a cohort of your peers.
  • MBSR Teacher Training (MBSR-TT) – an immersive, apprentice-style training in how to teach the 8-week Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction course with skill and confidence. It features hands-on, in-classroom training with a high faculty-to-student ratio, facilitated cohort support, and individualized mentorship. Personalized feedback, flexibility, and warm support are the hallmarks of this unique certification program.

I wasn’t sure whether I was “ready” for mindfulness teacher training, but I’m so incredibly glad I went for it. The MTTP program was transformational for my practice, my life path, and my spirit. Connecting so deeply with a community of fellow learners was joyful and inspiring. The quality of this training built up my confidence as well as my competence; I know I’m well on my way to becoming a great mindfulness teacher.
