GBA superb course with humble and experienced facilitators. I attended the Birmingham Teacher Training course with Nick, Rachel and a guest teacher from Oxford. They all brought something different and held the space beautifully. I've attended and taught many courses in related field, so I am pretty fussy! I was not disappointed. And the experience for myself was elevating and revitalising. I plan on returning for a refresher or more courses.

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.

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.

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!
