Overview of Mindful Boston’s Meditation Teacher Training
New aspiring teachers join Mindful Boston’s Forum 4. The end-goal of Forum 4’s Training Programs is to attain a Craftsman level certification. Most Craftsman graduates create a portfolio page and maintain a listing on the Mindful Boston grads website.
New groups start together each September as a cohort. The peer-support of going through a training program with others is an essential component of learning at Mindful Boston.
During your time training at Mindful Boston, you will be required to attend an MBSR class and a silent teacher-led retreat. A list of additional requirements with tuition fees will be given to you during your Intro Zoom Call.
Your handout about the Standard Learning Flow will cover the standard learning flow that most aspiring teachers follow at Mindful Boston. Variations on the flow sometimes happen, our teaching program has flexible options. The handout will give you a sample program that covers about one year (sometimes two years) of work towards teacher competency at the Craftsman Level.
