SEPTEMBER 2023:
Saturday 02.09. – Saturday 09.09.


A Residential Event on the Isle of Wight

Mindfulness means 'to remember'

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

Hill View House is a 5 bedroomed detached house, nestling at the top of the hill in Bedbury Lane Freshwater. The garden has undergone a recent makeover and offers a perfect place to unwind. You will discover 3 pianos in the house which you are invited to use, and a very adorable dog called Charley (double doodle) who loves everyone.

The house is an 8-minute walk to the beautiful Freshwater Bay with Orchards grocery store and the famous Piano Cafe. Farringford (the home of Alfred Lord Tennyson) is situated just across the road!

We look forward to welcoming you, Pam & Charley
