Mindfulness Champions Training - Online, May 2021 On the Mindfulness Champions Training you will learn to lead simple mindfulness meditation practices with competence and confidence, and to apply mindfulness in your work. It isn’t a formal mindfulness teacher training, but it’s aimed at anyone who wants to draw on mindfulness practices in their work, for example as a health professional, mental health professional, in 1:1 work with clients, or to introduce mindfulness to others in their workplace. You’ll get clear guidance in leading simple mindfulness practices, encouragement, and a chance to practice in a supportive environment. We'll also explore how you can work more mindfully and bring mindfulness into your workplace. The focus is understanding the qualities that are encouraged through mindfulness practice, and learning to lead techniques and practices that support this. The course will be led by Vishvapani Blomfield. He’s an author, broadcaster and advocate for mindfulness who has taught over 130 mindfulness courses and developed the Mindfulness Champions Training.
