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.

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.

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.

MCT Student Testimonials

"This was a truly great training. I feel really good about everything that has been presented, that I've learned, and how to apply it. I don't get to say that very often about other trainings I've taken, from other places, so I'm incredibly grateful. The quality of this training is so strong. I especially appreciate the openness of inclusion in mindfulness for all groups. The instructors truly are amazing. I cannot imagine better trainers."

"The instructors’ styles, knowledge and personalities complimented each other well. They work seamlessly together on Zoom. Fabulous work, both of them! So grateful for getting all the materials we needed each week. Always very prompted with the information we needed. Very well organized. I'm so grateful for their love, care, kindness, expertise, commitment, support and compassion in each and every session. Thank you!"

"Really a terrific program. Great content. Very supportive --- I totally loved the breakouts and discussion with other participants. Could not get enough of that. Thank you so much for offering this!
