This program happens only once every two years and it is designed for you to:

– Learn to teach mindfulness meditation with tools for body, heart, mind, and community
– Acquire skills that apply mindfulness and self-compassion to relationships, conflict, trauma, organizational wisdom, and societal change
– Develop skills for leading groups and teaching a wide range of mindfulness practitioners with cultural sensitivity
– Grow and deepen your spiritual path

As you journey through the curriculum, you’ll meet regularly with fellow students and 24 times in your small mentoring group with one of our highly trained teachers, who will serve as your Mentor, to practice and refine your skills.

Upon completion of the program, you will be certified by both the Awareness Training Institute and the Greater Good Science Center at the University of California, Berkeley.

During the program, you will engage in:

– Two special live virtual weekend events – Featuring Jack, Tara, and many of the Mentors and guest faculty. These online events will include small breakout sessions, live Q&A sessions, and opportunities for one-to-one connections to virtually meet other students from around the globe.
