Teacher Training: Finding peace in a frantic world
A two-day workshop on how to teach the “Finding peace in a frantic world” programme for individuals and in organisations.
In person at MM81, June 10th from 10.00 – 17.00 CET & June 11th from 9.30 - 16.00
With senior mindfulness teacher and teacher trainer, Beate Trück
A practical introduction into how to teach the curriculum with lots of practices and concrete tips
This workshop provides training on how to teach the 8-week Mindfulness course: “Finding Peace in a Frantic World” in its adaptation by Brussels Mindfulness. This curriculum is developed from MBCT (Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy) which is based on the best-selling book by Mark Williams and Danny Penman. It provides a practical and accessible introduction to mindfulness with 6 or 8 weekly sessions of 60-120 minutes and daily home practices of 10-20 minutes.
It includes practices and exercises for working with stress and increasing wellbeing and resilience. The curriculum is suitable for delivering to adults in workplaces, universities, and schools, and to the general public. With its unique mix of didactic teaching, short practices, and deep sharing it is particularly well suited for the busy population in Brussels dealing with an abundance of stress, overwhelm, and tight deadlines.
For whom?
This workshop is for fully trained Mindfulness teachers (MBSR, MBCT, or Mindfulness for Life).
It is ideal for people who have trained with Brussels Mindfulness and have already experienced the programme, but it is also open for everyone else with a certification.
