Learn to teach science-based mindfulness

Our 30-hour live-streamed training connects you with a community

of like-minded individuals and provides the tools and understanding 

needed to teach mindfulness.

MCT is a life-enhancing and comprehensive program designed for anyone who wants to establish or deepen their mindfulness practice. It is perfect for therapists, educators, yoga teachers, business professionals and those interested in teaching mindfulness to others.

According to a recent poll by the American Psychiatry Association (APA), 62% of Americans reported feeling increased anxiety over the past year. Our “normal” way of life was disrupted in 2020 and we are seeking ways to cope with the uncertainty and change in a healthy way. Through mindfulness, we can be present in the moment. We can manage difficult emotions & support our mental health while dropping into what is happening around us and within us.

Through MCT™, you can bring the deep wisdom of traditional mindfulness practice into modern times. This ancient wisdom has now merged with science to meet us in the present moment and enrich our modern lives. As we adapt to an ever-changing world, we can lean on mindfulness to provide a steady foundation and learn to look inward to find calm in the midst of chaos.
