GBThis is indeed a special course This is indeed a special course! One of the most beneficial both personally and professionally that I have taken part in. Nick and Maddy were excellent facilitators, giving expert support and space for our own thoughts to emerge throughout the 5 days. Thoroughly enjoyed every moment!

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 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.

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.

GBAn 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!
