The retreat structure:
Level 1 MBSR Teacher Training is experienced in a retreat environment to develop and support the deepening of your personal mindfulness practice. During the week, there will be regular periods of silence – and a silent led practice day.
Format of the day:
- early morning movement and sitting practice, followed by MBSR key curriculum components taught to the group as course participants (Mornings)
- Teach Back Sessions (afternoons) – guiding sections of core mindfulness-based practices and practising inquiry skills in small peer groups
- Taught didactic sessions on the key Session themes
- Personal journaling to help embed the learning.
The intention is to create a group process that feels safe and trustworthy. An open, spacious learning environment that encourages spontaneity and creativity and structured learning.
