Maybe you identify with one of the following:

• You would like to deepen your practice and understanding of mindfulness in a group of like-minded people
  
• You would like to teach mindfulness courses to individuals and/or companies
  
• You are a coach/therapist and would like to bring mindfulness into your work with clients
  
• You would like to bring mindfulness into the organisation where you work in a professional way
  
• You would like to further increase your wellbeing and stress resilience
  

If so, consider joining us!

Mindfulness training programmes have attained solid ground in many areas of life: personal development, work, health, education, leadership, parenting, childbirth etc.

As mindfulness is becoming more mainstream, there is a growing need for professionalism. While more people are starting to teach mindfulness, there is an increasing need for teachers with a solid background and certified training skills.

Brussels Mindfulness offers a 1,5-year Mindfulness Teacher Training programme, starting in February 2024, with lead teacher Lot Heijke, Sandrine Rauter, Yvonne Tuinte,  Peter Paanacker and Beate Trück.

Completion of all parts of the programme leads to a Certificate of Competency in Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction Programme.

In this free information session we will explain:

• The programme of the teacher training starting October 2023
• The skills of the teachers and supervisors
  
• The location and all services included 
  
• The requirements for application
  
• The supervision and certification process 

You will also be able to hear about first-hand experiences from a Dana, previous participant of the teacher training. Together we will answer any questions you might have. This is a great opportunity to meet other participants of the upcoming class and we will be meditating together.

Some feedback from former participants of the training

Signing up for the teacher training with Brussels Mindfulness was one of the best decisions I’ve made, both personally and professionally. The retreat-like modules were deep and nourishing, my peer group kept me on track and gave me the confidence to start teaching, and my pilot course helped me realise how much I had learnt and how good it feels to share these practices with others. I can’t recommend the training enough. Even if you’re not 100% sure you want to teach, I would invite you to consider it as a means of deepening your own practice and for the sense of community, both during and after the training.  - Steve D

"When I engaged in the training I was not sure if I would like to become a mindfulness teacher. I only wanted to deepen my journey in a structured way with like-minded people. The training has given me so much more than what I was expecting. It has been transformative, enriching and given me an enormous number of tools and skills. At my work people have asked me to guide lunch-time meditation sessions and they keep on asking for more. It is such a joyful and deeply rewarding experience to provide these sessions that now I am seriously considering of giving an 8-week course." – Course participant.

"This Teacher Training is so much more than I expected it to be. Learning about Mindfulness and MBSR is one thing. Becoming a well-equipped teacher is another and - if you ask me - essential criterium when you aspire to add value and coach people towards growth in (mindfulness) trainings. I'm happy to see this often very practical training is at the core of this. What I appreciate a lot personally is that this training is not only about the 'good news show' of mindfulness. We also spend time exploring criticism, different opinions, available research, history and future of mindfulness training." – Niels Piette, course participant.

"I am so grateful that I have chosen this training. Jake is such a wonderful teacher and he really knows how to teach in a way to engage everyone. It is really fun to come to the modules and meet the other participants who have become real friends for me. The morning and evening meditation sessions are wonderful moments to deepen my practice and to come to rest. This will change your life for ever- in a positive direction- an absolute must if you are interested in mental growth and wellbeing!" – Course participant.

"The teacher training combines passion for mindfulness with a professional approach to teaching it. It strengthened my own meditation practice and gave me excellent guidance on how to practically implement an MBSR course. I would sign up straight away again!" – Course participant.

"The Teacher Training programme has been one of the best learning experiences in my life. It sets very high academic standards in an environment that fosters openness, creativity and a deep human bond." – Elena Prokhorova, course participant.
