Mentoring Mindfulness: Deepen Your Personal Practice

Program Description

Mentoring Mindfulness: Deepen Your Personal Practice is aimed at encouraging and supporting participants’ personal mindfulness meditation practice, as well as, providing support and encouragement for the development of skills for teaching mindfulness in various settings. 

The mentoring program will provide a space for professionals to share and collaborate regarding challenges and notable insights when integrating mindfulness into their profession. Participants will also share and discuss personal experiences of teaching mindfulness to others. 

Please Note: Mindfulness–Based Stress Reduction (Live or Distance Learning) or an equivalent mindfulness based program is a prerequisite for Mentoring Mindfulness for Professionals. This program will be most rewarding for professionals that are fully committed to a mindfulness meditation practice, both personally and professionally.
