Train to Teach Meditation
Children and teens face a future of pressure and anxiety due to the demands of a technological lifestyle and world events.
Giving them the mindful skills to navigate this can be a powerful self-care skill that helps move them from surviving to thriving.
Now there is more demand than ever from parents and organisations to bring mindful and meditation skills into the lives of young people. The awareness and research into ACES (Adverse Childhood Experiences) has provided the evidence to support the need to support positive mental and emotional health in young people – and this includes giving them access to meditation.
If you are interested in training as a professional meditation teacher for young people, we offer an accredited programme.
