MBSR Teacher Training Intensive

June 2 – June 12, 2026

Train to facilitate Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) programs in an immersive online atmosphere with guidance from highly skilled healthcare providers and mindfulness facilitators from the Reconnect Centre for Mindfulness.

This 6-day intensive covers the foundations, mindfulness practices, and key exercises of MBSR.

Participants will explore session themes, practice facilitation under supervision, and engage in interactive learning. A personal mindfulness practice is essential for embodying non-judgment, presence, and compassion in facilitation.

The training includes didactic and experiential modules, group learning, role-play, and simulated client interactions.

Participants Will Learn:

– How to articulate the foundational principles of the MBSR program
– To demonstrate the basic MBSR teaching skills
– The central role of mindfulness meditation practice for general wellness and self-care in the regulation of emotions and behaviours
– How to articulate the rationale for a facilitator’s ongoing mindfulness meditation practice in teaching MBSR
– To discuss and outline formal and informal meditative practices and mindfulness as a mode of being in daily life
