Learn Mindfulness Facilitation Based on Successful Methods

Our in-depth 2-day Mindfulness Facilitation Course offers a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms behind mindfulness’ success. You’ll learn all the exercises to establish your own regular practice and gain the training, tools, and resources needed to guide both group and one-on-one sessions successfully.

Why Mindfulness Matters

Mindfulness isn’t just a trend—it’s a proven method to increase focus, awareness, and self-regulation. It helps shift attention away from negative thinking and worrying, trains our ability to stay calm under stress, improves sleep, and enhances resilience.

Course Benefits

» Accredited & Highly Evaluated: Learn practices that reduce stress and anxiety, improve attention, and build mental resilience.
» Expert Facilitation: Guide others in co-creating an environment where mindfulness can flourish and everyone can connect deeply with themselves.
» Scientific Foundations: Understand basic neuroscience and how connecting with the parasympathetic nervous system lowers stress and anxiety, enhances attention and mental clarity, and improves social and emotional intelligence.

Who Should Attend?

» Aspiring Mindfulness Instructors
» Wellness Professionals
» Mindfulness Enthusiasts

This course is perfect for anyone eager to deepen their mindfulness practice, add valuable skills to their professional toolkit, or embark on a career as a mindfulness teacher.

Course Highlights

» Interactive Learning: Based on nine years of successful practice in New Zealand and Australia and the latest research and techniques from MBSR pioneers trained with Jon Kabat-Zinn.
» Supportive Environment: Develop clear instructions on language, voice, and authenticity to create deep trust and freedom within mindfulness sessions.
» No Prior Experience Needed: Suitable for both beginners and advanced practitioners.

Scientific Insights into Mindfulness

Mindfulness is about being fully present in each moment. Recent scientific confirmations show that mindfulness reshapes our biology for calmness, presence, and awareness. It enables better monitoring and release of anxious thoughts, fostering a responsive rather than reactive mindset.

Online Component for Personal Practice

To build a consistent personal practice, the course includes an 8-week online component. You’ll establish a daily 15-minute routine for mental clarity, calmness, and emotional balance. This self-paced module covers formal practices and introduces paths to forgiveness, acceptance, and dealing with difficult emotions.

Take Out the Guesswork

Penetrate beyond conditioned mindsets with language that speaks to the heart. Our course provides tools to help guide others, connecting them with their own “Inner Anchor” and fostering a deep appreciation for the beauty of life.

Take out the guess work and cut straight to the fun part of mindfulness; interacting with people and help adults, teens and kids to find calm, joy and focus.

Guiding Mindfulness Is Not a Performance

We teach the essential skill needed for effective mindfulness facilitation—letting go of the need to “achieve” and instead, creating a space for mindfulness to naturally arise.

Why is Mindfulness So Important Now?

In our fast-paced world, where the increasing demands of living puts enormous stress on all people, children, teenagers and adults, there is a growing need for individuals who can teach simple mindfulness activities to help anyone who is willing to self-regulate and self-calm when they are experiencing strong emotions and overwhelming stress.

Mindfulness as a Path to Mental Balance

With Mindfulness we can put the spotlight of awareness on thoughts and patterns of reactivity and recognise that we have a choice of where we put our attention as well as knowing we can shift attention, especially when trapped in negative self-talk and over-thinking. This is the doorway to inner freedom.
