Sounds True’s Most Popular Online Certification Program Is Back

LAUNCH DATES
February 23, 2026–October 31, 2026

The Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program (MMTCP) is an online certification program with Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield, two of the world’s leading mindfulness meditation teachers, plus guest faculty including Eckhart Tolle, Dr. Daniel J. Siegel, Dr. Kristin Neff, and others.

MMTCP is for healing professionals, therapists, counselors, and spiritual mentors who want to provide deeper support to their clients and patients. The general public is also welcome to apply. Since the program first launched in 2017, we have certified over 8,000 teachers in 70+ countries.

Enrollment opens just once every two years, and there’s a limited number of spots that always sell out quickly, so there is a high level of urgency for your community to enroll quickly to secure their spot.

In addition to offering numerous opportunities to deepen their mindfulness practice, students will also benefit from unique program features including:

  • Online Curriculum accessible from anywhere in the world
  • Practicum Experience to apply new skills in professional and public settings
  • Mentorship Program including 1-1 and small group mentoring by highly trained instructors to address questions and inspire growth in specific areas
  • Distinguished Certification from the Greater Good Science Center at UC Berkeley and the Awareness Training Institute
  • Business-Building Tools & Resources for creating a business plan, and guidebook for designing and implementing a mindfulness meditation course
  • Becoming a Part of a Global Community of practitioners dedicated to breaking down the barriers to connection and providing enormous support in students’ personal and professional growth
