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 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.

GBA great school of Mindfulness A great school of Mindfulness, gentle, and realistic training to meet today’s challenges. Great support by tutors and the supervision is also very up to date. Latest research and links to Neuroscience is also very helpful for teachers. The friendly environment created is an added bonus.
