This six-week specialist training is for those interested in bringing mindfulness into a one to one context. Participants will engage in an experiential learning process, developing relational skills and understanding, while considering implementation in their particular setting. The training will be of greatest benefit to those already working within a one-to-one context such as therapy, coaching, teaching, chaplaincy, healthcare, social work, and other carer work.

- have previously trained to teach a mindfulness-based program curriculum and want to learn how to deliver it within a one to one context.
- are mindfulness teachers who want to deepen into the relational aspect of mindfulness practice
Learning Aims:
- Learn, and practice, specific relational mindfulness skills
- Experience the ways these skills can be used within a one to one context
