The best investment I have ever made… The best investment I have ever made for myself. The Mindfulness Now teacher training was more than I hoped for and everything I could of wished for. The knowledge and willingness to share experiences of Nick and Maddie was inspiring and their presence felt more like that of an old trusted friend. I went into the week's training shy, nervous and feeling a little out of my depth and finished the week empowered and confident that I had the skills within me to help others on their mindfulness journey.

An excellent course with expert support This was an excellent course with good opportunities to learn from various methods, including didactic, group exercises, exploration of issues and direct practices of mindfulness. The setting of St John’s College, Oxford was amazing. I would thoroughly recommend it!

Mindfulness 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.

Fantastic well structured course Fantastic well structured course. Maddy and Nick were lovely course leaders who really engaged the group and delivered an excellent course. I am very pleased I chose Mindfulness now for my studies.

I’m week 5 of an 8 week mindfulness… I’m week 5 of an 8 week mindfulness course and have been trying to contact the institute via the online learning platform, since week 4, I have not been receiving the emails with links to the meditations and they are not available on the learning platform. I have emailed several times and left a voice message and have had not response? I’m a single mum and I am trying to develop myself and feel like I have had no support whatsoever - would love it if someone would contact me and put my mind at ease that I have not been duped!
