This immersive, science-backed training is designed specifically for psychologists, psychotherapists, and counsellors who want to confidently integrate meditation into their therapeutic work. Tailored for those with an existing understanding of the psyche, this three-module program bridges the gap between theory and embodiment—offering a clear, practical, and trauma-aware approach to teaching meditation. With an emphasis on nervous system regulation, self-awareness, and emotional integration, the course blends ancient meditative wisdom with modern neuroscience and psychology.
Whether you’re deepening your personal practice or ready to share meditation with clients, this training will give you the tools, structure, and confidence to do so—with integrity, clarity, and evidence to back it.

To teach meditation is to hand someone the key to their own inner sanctuary – something few people know they already possess. We’re not teaching people to transcend life – we’re teaching them to meet it with clarity, compassion, and courage.
