Elizabeth Whelan

Certified MMTCP Graduate
Certified by the Awareness Training Institute in partnership with the University of California at Berkeley’s Greater Good Science Center.
As an MMTCP graduate and current Mindfulness Mentor Training program participant, I focus on trauma-responsive Exploring Mindfulness & Presence for Inner Resilience & Empowerment programs in Kenya, as well as leading mindfulness and lovingkindness meditations, day retreats, and multi-week courses.
I have worked to empower traumatized and impoverished populations in informal settlements, a cancer center, widow groups, and mental health organizations in Kenya, Rwanda & Haiti as well as international groups online using group discussion, yoga, and mindfulness as a licensed facilitator with the TIMBo (Trauma Informed Mind Body) Collective. My experience includes organizing cross-cultural trauma-responsive training trips to rural Kenya, Rwanda & Haiti and I plan to include mindful photography safaris in the near future.
