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.

GBI’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!

GBEnjoyable and Informative This company is offering training in teaching mindfulness and you get what it says on the packet and more...! It was very enjoyable and relaxing and yet I learnt a lot. I feel equipped to take what I have experienced and learnt into the world.

GBMindfulness Teacher Training What a wonderful training experience. I have gained so much from the course. Experiencing the 8 week program then learning to teach the course has given me much more confidence to deliver Mindfulness independently. The experience was no less beneficial over zoom, it was so well organised yet relaxed. I want to do it all again!

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.
