Since training at Solterreno I have begun teaching the MBSR course in my local area and I have been accepted onto the UK Network for Mindfulness-Based Teacher Training Organisations. This shows that my training at Solterreno and ongoing supervision meets the UK Good Practice Guidelines for Mindfulness-Based Teachers. 

I had the pleasure of training at Solterreno Academy and I feel that this was one of the best decisions I could have made in my journey to equipping myself with the skills to be able to teach mindfulness to others. 

I felt the quality of the teaching at Solterreno was exceptional, we had plenty of opportunities to practice leading both the meditations and teaching the sessions. This enabled our group to grow in confidence in a way that was really visible during the retreats. 

Learning in a retreat format also leads to a strong bond in the group and our group is still in regular contact and has been a support as we have all embarked on our teaching journeys. 

The ongoing supervision has been of real value whilst teaching the MBSR courses. I have had ongoing supervision with Bodhin and really appreciated the wisdom in his advice which has equipped me the support to teach with more confidence and hopefully more skill.

If you're considering Solterreno as a training venue then I couldn't recommend it highly enough!

TT3, June 2022

I loved how the course was structured. I took TT1 in the intense format of 1 week and TT2 was instead spread over 2 months. I really enjoyed both formats and I felt that TT2 was ideal in this format, because I really had the time to absorb what I learnt in each session and had time to prepare.…

TT2 Online, Oct 2021

Fantastic course. The structure of each day was fantastic. The days were long but every activity or teaching session felt like it was not rushed, there was spaciousness and yet things didn't often overrun or feel crammed in. Perfect balance. The teachers were absolutely wonderful, grounding,…
