Online MBCL Teacher Training | 6 days (English)

Description The MBCL Teacher Training program offers mindfulness trainers and others doing mindfulness-based work the opportunity to become acquainted with the format and exercises of the MBCL group-based training program and to learn to work with the curriculum and guide compassion-based exercises themselves.

Specific goals of the MBCL Teacher Training program are:

• Mastering the basic attitude associated with compassion-focused methodologies;

• Learning to work with compassion-focused methodologies both in groups and individually. Whether participants can give the group-based compassion training independently depends on the depth of their own practice and their previous experience with group-based work and teaching MBSR/MBCT;

• Gaining insight into for whom the MBCL training and specific exercises are suitable and about the trans-diagnostic application possibilities of the MBCL training;

• Deepening skills in mindful dialogue/inquiry during MBCL training.

Participants are intensively introduced to the content the MBCL program, and plenty of space is provided for personal experience and further deepening of the exercises. In addition, emphasis is placed on becoming familiar with working with the curriculum and guiding compassion-focused exercises.
