Learning to teach the 6 week course to others
Those wishing to learn how to take others through a 6 or 8 week mindfulness course need to be properly trained mindfulness teachers.
The first step is to undertake an 8 week MBCT or MBSR course as full participants yourself. The 8 week course is one of the fundamental prerequisites before starting to train as a mindfulness teacher as this more intensive experience is required in order to skilfully guide others who are developing a mindfulness practice. Note that the 6 week course is not of sufficient length or depth to fulfil this important prerequisite for teacher training.
The next step is to undertake a more formal mindfulness teacher training pathway, as just experiencing the 6 week or 8 week course does not prepare you to teach it to others.
One such pathway is via the Mindfulness Training Institute Australia New Zealand (MTI) which offers a high quality MBP teacher training pathway in Australia and New Zealand. It was established by Maura, Timothea Goddard and Eva Papadopolou in 2014 after many years of offering mindfulness teacher trainings together. This certified pathway was developed in keeping with gold standard international teacher training guidelines, and remains closely connected with recognised training centres overseas.
Maura has now stepped back as an MTI Director as she wished to focus on offering the 6 week Mindful Self Care courses to the Healthcare profession.
Once you have completed the MTI Level 1 pathway (or any recognised equivalent), then you can start to teach the 6 week MSCP course under supervision. You will also need to purchase the course materials and supervision package (see below for costs and information). Please feel free to contact maura@mindfulscp.com if you wish more details.
If you are already a trained mindfulness teacher and wish to teach the 6 week mindful self care program in your setting, see below for more information.
