FOUNDER OF THE MCLEAN MEDITATION INSTITUTE
The Meditation Teacher Academy’s training program is delivered in two components: a self-paced, distance learning module—the Meditation Foundation Course—followed by an 8-day, in-person Teacher Training Intensive. In total, it consists of 200 hours of training in the theory, science, teaching, and practice of meditation and mindfulness. After the certification, you’ll join the community of over 300 meditation and mindfulness teachers already teaching out in the world. You will have access to the faculty to be mentored while you set up your first classes, presentations, and retreats. An ongoing continuing education program will help keep your knowledge fresh. This is all included in the tuition.
