MBSR Teaching Practice Intensive
MBSR Teaching Practice Intensive
June 2022
Thursday 09.06. – Thursday 16.06.
TBC
A Residential Event on the Isle of Wight – UK
Living Inside Participant-Practitioner Perspectives
In this final part of our Mindfulness Teacher Training, you will have the opportunity to explore issues and questions arising out of your experience of the programme, to engage in guiding others in formal and informal mindfulness practice and study the contextual background of MBSR.
This provides the opportunity for you to challenge your MBSR curriculum and handbook against the classes, as taught by Susann Herrmann, Dipl-Psych. (MA) – your Mindfulness Teacher Training Supervisor. Taking these classes, along with your fellow trainees, gives you the opportunity to directly experience the impact of your facilitating (teaching) and to receive feedback on the spot, providing you with the courage and self-confidence to teach.
Our time together will be spent in silence when we practice, and in reflective investigation as we learn through small and larger group processes.
The Teaching Practice Intensive consists of 61 hours in total. As a participant in this Intensive you will be asked to:
- Examine, in detail, the MBSR curriculum and programme flow
- Guide other seminar participants in mindfulness practices from within in the MBSR curriculum
- Study the experiential, didactic, and conceptual elements of MBSR
- Practice the skills of enquiry, dialogue and group dynamics that are the hallmarks of MBSR
- Inquire and reflect on a range of issues arising out of the experience and principles of MBSR
- Explore your identity and integrity as a teacher of MBSR
