The Focused Mind: Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Training will begin on Saturday, February 27 at Aquarian Dreams. This six-month intensive 100-hour program, led by Anthony Profeta, will help participants gain a more complete understanding of mindfulness meditation. The program will include a thorough an exploration into Buddhist philosophy and its meditation techniques, especially its mindfulness and compassion practices.

The program is aimed at those who wish to become more skillful in presenting mindfulness such as therapists, social workers, yoga teachers, health care professionals, educators, life coaches, and anyone seeking to integrate mindfulness meditation practices into their work. It is also open to anyone who may have no desire to teach but simply wish to deepen their own practice and study.

During the training, participants make a time commitment to deepen their own practice and study. Students will practice mindfulness meditation for a minimum of 30-60 minutes per day for the duration of the program (and hopefully for the rest of their lives). In addition to six training weekends and study days, students will engage in homework assignments and readings, weekly check-ins with peer groups, practice teaching assignments, two teacher one-on-one meetings, and monthly videoconference calls.
