If you are a therapist, you may already know the science behind how mindfulness can help our mental health, particularly for those with anxiety and depression. Many of you might already be referring your patients to meditation programs and online apps for this support. Imagine being able to bring a deep understanding of mindfulness into your own practice, to create a space even more conducive for healing and support your patients in and out of your office. 

Can you imagine what the educational system would look like if mindfulness was a part of the curriculum at every stage? And if teachers had these practices themselves? Early programs in schools replacing detention with meditation and teaching simple breath exercises are already beginning to show the impact mindfulness can have on our future generations. If you are an educator, this training will help you bring mindfulness tools into your classroom to support anxiety, emotional regulation and overall create a better, kinder space.

Are you an HR Professional at a large or small company? Want to use mindfulness training to support your team personally and professionally? Studies show mindfulness supports employees with stress resilience and productivity, but it can also improve team dynamics and how colleagues relate to each other. This training will help you bring all this MNDFL goodness into your own office to support employee development and well-being.

Yoga and meditation may originate from the same source however they each bring their unique approach. Yoga prepares the body to come into alignment with the mind. Deepening your mindfulness deepens your yoga practice, and vice versa. Discover what possibilities for integration, synchronicity, and well-roundedness lay ahead by going deeper into your practice via mindfulness.

We believe in deep training within a particular tradition AND there is always room to apply your depth of experience beyond your borders. If you were trained from a singular perspective we encourage learning the language and syntax, perspective and parlance of modern mindfulness that goes beyond the binary of secular vs traditional. Mindfulness is only Dharma-lite in the eyes of the beholder. Who might you meet — and reach — yearning to experience what’s True, inside and out, from a mindfulness basis?

Do you get hired to help "fix" things? Do you have clients that want things to "change?" Your job is often to influence others to a better outcome, but how you do that often means as much or more than what your recommendations are. The mindfulness practices and lessons you learn in this training will change the way you tackle problems and interact with clients. 

Bringing mindfulness into your home as a parent might be one of the most important and meaningful ways we can pave the way for the next generation. Whether you are in the midst of toddler tantrums or helping older children navigate the stresses of the world around us, this training will help you show up more thoughtfully for yourself and create an open and accepting space for your kids and partner. 

Have a practice already?
The mindfulness presented here reflects the depth, breadth, and encompassing spirit of modern mindfulness. This meets the practitioner wherever they are at - from experienced to beginner. Beginner’s mind is real, but so is real experience. When we see how it’s truly possible to come from one, both, and everything in between, we begin to savor the richness of a mindfulness not catering to one specific audience. It’s for all of us.

Let’s face it, we could all use some support in quelling our anxiety, developing stability, and self-regulating ourselves so that we can be better humans. 

Scholarship Distribution for Applicants of the Certification Pathway Only

The MNDFL Training program allocates scholarships — both full and partial — for 20% of every class.

Of that 20%:

• 75% is allocated for marginalized identities with challenged economic resources
• 25% for innovative leaders in non-traditional spaces - tech, music, medicine, etc.

If there are 100 people in a class, there will be 20 scholarships. If there are 50 people in a class, there will be 10 scholarships, and so on.

Once we have exhausted the available scholarships for each, they will be available for the next class.

This structure -- and transparency around it -- assures the integrity of scholarship allocation in that it is predetermined, and is also balanced to assure that it is sustainable for our human benefit business model.

Those individuals that have the means to pay the full program fee help us to address systemic inequity and make this generous offering possible while fueling the expansion of diversity and innovation of this next iteration of mindfulness and how it is represented.

This intention lies as the core guiding principle of the MNDFL Training, its content, development, and implementation.
