GBMindfulness Now Teacher Training College This is a five day non residential course which teaches you the format of their own version of the classic MBSR and MBCT 8 week courses. You essentially leave with a handbook a few meditation techniques and a course syllabus to use. Teaching how to hold space for students or groups is not featured, and minimal opportunities for practice teaching is given. The assessment time framework is rigid and takes no account of individual needs and circumstances even if a trainee experiences any family life crises or loss within the assessment timeframe. Very little to no support is given during the assessment window. Don’t waste your time or money.

GBThe Mindfulness Now course run by Maddy… The Mindfulness Now course run by Maddy and Nick was an absolute delight from start to finish. The content and the way it was delivered was second to none. The course was delivered via zoom; this did not take away from the experience and all the participants and teachers were able to build a lovely rapport together. I can't recommend this course highly enough.

GBI attended this 5 day intensive teacher… I attended this 5 day intensive teacher training course, and cannot recommend it enough. Nick and Maddy have a wealth of experience in mindfulness and have put together a really well structured and informative course. They guided us through each element of the Mindfulness Now programme, always checking in to ensure we fully understood what they were teaching us. I felt totally at ease and comfortable to ask questions and share with the group when encouraged to. It was an incredible week of learning with a wonderful group of people and inspiring teachers. I now have access to a wide range of resources and feel fully armed to begin my own mindfulness teaching journey.

SGMindfulness NOW Teacher Training (22-26 Mar) I had a great experience with the course. It was well-paced, with lots of personal anecdotes and experiences shared which helped me loads. Plus, even though it was done online, trainers still managed to help the group bond fairly well by making the environment safe and conducive for sharing, as well as allowing for diverse views and perspectives to be heard. The manual and videos provided are detailed and clear, but allows for our own personality to be added. I look forward to checking in with the trainers again and continuing to receive support from the community. Thank you once again!

GBFantastic training, lovely people. Mindfulness Now teacher training with Maddy & Nick has left me feeling empowered, excited and confident to begin my journey as a mindfulness teacher. My existing practice also benefited from the training, and the insights shared with my fellow trainees. Maddy & Nick are highly experienced, deeply knowledgable and really enjoyable to learn from! I recommend this course to anyone taking the next step in their mindfulness journey.
