Resources for the teacher training

This Teacher Training is so much more than I expected it to be. Learning about Mindfulness and MBSR is one thing. Becoming a well-equipped teacher is another and - if you ask me - essential criterium when you aspire to add value and coach people towards growth in (mindfulness) trainings. I'm happy to see this often very practical training is at the core of this. What I appreciate a lot personally, is that this training is not only about the 'good news show' of mindfulness. We also spend time exploring criticism, different opinions, available research, history and future of mindfulness training.

Signing up for the teacher training with Brussels Mindfulness was one of the best decisions I’ve made, both personally and professionally. The retreat-like modules were deep and nourishing, my peer group kept me on track and gave me the confidence to start teaching, and my pilot course helped me realise how much I had learnt and how good it feels to share these practices with others. Since completing my pilot course in 2021, I’ve shared mindfulness practices with more than 100 people in my organisation and I hope to reach many more. I couldn’t have done this on my own and I feel deep gratitude to my teachers and peers for their support. I can’t recommend the training enough. Even if you’re not 100% sure you want to teach, I would invite you to consider it as a means of deepening your own practice and for the sense of community, both during and after the training.

I really appreciated the hands-on practical element of the training. It gave me opportunity to really dip my toes in, while in the safety of the group. The connections developed with others in the training continue after graduation and have seemed essential to me – in a sense a community in which we can help each other with resources, ideas and support.
