What the Journey to Becoming a Certified Mindfulness Teacher Actually Gives You—In Your Work, Your Relationships, and Your Inner Life
With Tara Brach, PhD, and Jack Kornfield, PhD
Hosted by Tami Simon
A Live Online Event
June 15 at 1 pm ET | 10 am PT
Your work is valuable. Could teaching mindfulness and meditation make it even more so?
The capacity for mindful awareness is at the heart of wise communication, emotional healing, learning, leadership, and meaningful connection. Knowing how to cultivate mindfulness is a profound professional and life skill—one that can deepen the way we listen, relate, lead, and serve in every setting.
The Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program (MMTCP) was designed for mental health professionals, medical providers, educators, and others who already do meaningful work—and who also feel a quiet pull to bring mindfulness teaching to those they serve.
Some MMTCP graduates go on to teach mindfulness and meditation formally. Many more weave their new skills into the work they’ve been doing for years—and discover a deeper sense of presence, purpose and connection along the way.
Join Tara Brach, Jack Kornfield, and Tami Simon for a live conversation about what this 18-month journey actually gives you—and how to know if it’s the right next step for you.
