Instructor: Kasim Al-Mashat
The 10-Week Online MBSR Essentials is the first step in Level 1 of the MBSR Teacher Training Pathway. This training is recognized by all members of the Global Mindfulness Collaborative, including the Mindfulness Center at Brown University (MC@B).
MBSR Essentials offers a highly experiential exploration of the MBSR curriculum, cultivating evidence-based teaching competencies and understanding from the inside out. Whether you intend to teach MBSR or integrate mindfulness into your professional field in other ways, Essentials is a special opportunity to deepen practice. As we discover greater degrees of freedom in our own lives, we are able to bring the essential transformative elements of mindfulness to others in the service of minimizing harm and maximizing human flourishing.
Upon successful completion of MBSR Essentials you can:
Teach mindfulness workshops.
Teach introductory mindfulness meditation classes.
Please note, registration in Essentials includes the automatic enrollment in the eight-week MBSR program. You will not be able to apply for MBSR Essentials if you have not already taken the eight-week MBSR as a stand-alone program prior to your application. This means you will not be able to take the eight-week MBSR program for the first time during the 10-Week MBSR Essentials as that does not fulfill the prerequisite requirement (see website for details and prerequisites).
