Instructors: Jon Aaron
In this first step in the MBSR Teacher Training pathway, teacher trainees engage fully in the 8-week MBSR program as participants and as observers. In addition, they engage with other trainees and the instructor in a 3.5 hour seminar exploring the underpinnings, approach, and teacher qualities in which the program is steeped.
Full attendance at all sessions is required, excluding emergencies or weather cancellations.
This training will be online, live, via Zoom, offered in partnership with Mindful Leader.
