Welcome to Kind to Mind

Services

Training in (Self-)Compassion

Are you often critical towards yourself and/or others? Are you putting the bar very high? Do you get stuck in old unhelpful patterns and would you like to handle things differently from now on? Then you are at the right place.

 

On a regular basis, various trainings are being offered, both individually as in a group-based setting. For example, the 8-week mindfulness-based compassion training (MBCL) or the 6-week mindfulness-based forgiveness training (MBTF).

See below for more info and/or contact us.

Are you a mindfulness trainer and would you like to further deepen your teaching skills? Then the mindfulness-based compassionate living (MBCL) teacher training or the mindfulness-based training in forgiveness (MBTF) might be of interest to you.

Every year a MBTF teacher training is offered by the co-founders Frits Koster and Joyce Cordus. In addition, the MBCL teacher training is yearly offered by the founders Erik van den Brink and Frits Koster, in collaboration with dr. Rhoda Schuling and dr. Marleen ter Avest, who investigated the effectiveness and working mechansms of MBCL in people with (recurrent) depression.

(Self-)Compassion Trainer Supervision

Are you almost finishing your MBCL/MBTF teacher training program or have you just started as a MBCL/MBTF trainer? Then supervision sessions might be helpful for you.

When working as a trainer, we encounter challenges every now and then, both on an individual as a group-based level. Undergoing supervision can support you during these times, while at the same time  further deepening your personal practice.
