In 2017 a partnership between the Oxford Mindfulness Centre, led by Professor Willem Kuyken, and Mente Aberta Centre, led by Professor Marcelo Demarzo, was initiated with the aim of implementing and propagating the Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) in Brazil.

Dorota Stuker is a mother, psychologist and mindfulness teacher. During her 12-month teacher training in MBCT-L with the OMF, Dorota was so inspired by the topics discussed that she decided to bring mindfulness closer to children by writing mindfulness books which would help them to manage their emotions.

A country of 1.44 billion people and the 5th largest economy in the world, India recently celebrated its 75th year of independence. On the one hand, India has a booming economy creating deep global footprints, growing far stronger than any of its counterparts, and on the other it’s a country with the most ancient wisdom traditions.

The OMF are excited to announce a new partnership with the Korean Centre for Mindfulness (KCFM).  Below is a note from KCFM’s founder and director Dr Heyoung Ahn.

Until 2021, we had been offering two different non-academic ways to train as a teacher: the 12-month “Cohort” route, and the “Modular” route. If you have completed some (but not all) modules and workshops for the Modular training route, please read this blog carefully.

Until last year, we have been offering two different non-academic ways to train as a teacher: the 12-month “Cohort” route, and the “Modular” route. Over the next 12 months, we are phasing out the Modular teacher-training route, and after Spring 2023, this Modular teacher training will be discontinued completely.

As a teacher begins to put what they have been learning through personal mindfulness practice and training into teaching – mindfulness-based supervision (MBS) is the space with the help of another to explore teaching and continue to build competence and confidence.

Join us as we offer Mark Williams' new course developed for those who have already completed a mindfulness course and want to explore mindfulness more deeply. This course explores how every waking moment, our understanding of the world is dominated by predicting what actions we need to take next, coloured by what is called ‘feeling tone’.

Following a review of its training offerings for aspiring MBCT teachers, the OMC has created a revised and updated training pathway.
