About the Mindfulness Teacher Training

During your Mindfulness Teacher Training, you will first learn to master different mindfulness techniques and the underlying theories.

When you are ready, you will continue studying your MRPs in the following years.

What will you learn during the first year of the Teacher Training?

In the first year of the Teacher Training, students are introduced to the content and philosophy behind the Mind Retreat Program (MRP). This provides a strong foundation for their future work as an MRP Trainer. Additionally, students will learn to master and teach the two 7-week introductory mindfulness courses EMIC1 and EMIC2. These courses are an essential part of MRP, and teaching them effectively is key to helping participants fully benefit from the courses and retreats that follow. By mastering these courses, students will gain a deeper understanding of MRP and be well-prepared to help others on their mindfulness journey.

Self-study and personal guidance

During your Mindfulness Teacher Training, one of our MRP Teachers of Masters will guide you. They focus on two aspects:

– First, they help you increase your theoretical knowledge and teach you to master the most effective mindfulness techniques.

– Second, they will help you overcome your personal challenges.

To become a good teacher, you must progress in both your personal growth and theoretical knowledge. To achieve this, all students have 9 individual sessions with their teacher to discuss their progress, personal development, understanding of the study materials, next steps, and any questions you might have at that point.

For personal questions and urgent matters between these sessions, you can contact your teacher by email. Students are encouraged to use the Student Community on our online platform for mindfulness for general questions. Using the Student Community can help other students who may have the same question(s) as you.

We expect you to work independently with the materials offered in the Teacher Training study modules on our online platform for mindfulness.

Duration of the training

The Mindfulness Teacher Training takes a total of three years. After completing your first year, you decide if you want to continue with the second and third year. The training program takes longer than other courses, such as the MBSR, where you will learn to guide only one course of eight weeks.

The IMI’s Teacher Training allows you to guide multiple courses, retreats, one-on-one sessions, or even your own students.

For who is the Mindfulness Teacher Training?

Our Mindfulness Teacher Training is perfect for anyone who is motivated to learn and transfer the true essence of mindfulness to others. However, this training is not for everyone. If you don’t want to spend time on your mindfulness practice or don’t want to delve into the deeper teachings of mindfulness, then this training is probably not for you.

Compared to other teacher training courses, the Inner Mind Institute teaches you everything about the essence of mindfulness up to the path to enlightenment. That means you learn a lot more about mindfulness than just the basics. Not only do you learn special techniques, but you also learn to master them in such a way that you can let go of your problem areas. As a result, you can live your life with inner peace and true happiness.

Requirements to start

You do not need to have followed any specific previous education to start the Mindfulness Teacher Training. However, we do see that students who have studied at the Higher Professional Education level generally experience fewer difficulties than undergrad students. However, in the end, it is more important that you are motivated to learn, eager to help others, and willing to devote the necessary time to your education.

After your registration and payment for the first study year, we will contact you to plan your first personal guided session. In preparation for this session, we will send you some questions to answer so that we can get a clear picture of you as a person and where you stand. In addition, we ask you to draw up a list of personal goals and questions you want to discuss during the session.

Tests and exams

Each year, you will take several theoretical tests to test your knowledge. As part of your exam, you will also guide the pre-MRP EMIC courses and/or MRP retreats. For example, for your first year you will guide the introductory mindfulness courses EMIC1 – The Four Foundations of Mindfulness and EMIC2 – Mindfulness in Everyday Life.

Your teacher will assess your guidance during these courses as part of your exam. The way you supervise the courses will determine whether you pass or not. Taking tests and exams ensures quality and a high level. So after each academic year, you are ready to get started.
