Continuing Education for Meditation Instructors: Weekend 3

June 22nd—June 23rd

Date details +
    Room: BSMC

    This third weekend training is for authorized Meditation Instructors and those who are being mentored into the role.

    Weekend Three includes a Saturday overview of mental health, meditation, and the role of the Meditation Instructor tailored for people who are not mental health experts. Presenters will address the following topics: 

    • An overview of therapeutic modalities in contrast to meditation 
    • The role of meditation 
    • When to refer patients for mental health support

    Sunday will focus on investigating the personal journey of a Meditation Instructor framed in terms of the four dignities of meek, perky, outrageous, and inscrutable. Topics that will be addressed are:

    • Modesty, while at the same time the development of confidence
    • Maintaining lungta and offering that to our local communities
    • Community building across the Meditation Instructor community—how can we help and support each other and mentor new MI’s
