6-Week MBSR/MBCT and Eco-Awareness Teacher Training

6-Week MBSR/MBCT and Eco-Awareness Teacher Training is sponsored by Centers for Integrative Health. A six-week online teacher training program focusing on MBSR, MBCT, and eco-awareness, with classes held on Fridays from January 23 to February 27, 2026.

6-Week Eco-Awareness Training for MBSR/MBCT Teachers | Centers for Integrative Health This training brings together MBSR/MBCT teachers to contemplate and engage in practice around their wishes for wellbeing and healing for our planet Earth. The six sessions of the training cover all 10 MBSR/MBCT class sessions.

The sessions are divided approximately in half: the first half is dedicated to Earth Awareness practice and time for sharing personal reflections and experiences; the second half allows time for considering and sharing ways of inviting Earth Awareness into the curriculum and MBSR/MBCT classroom. Teachers can share both their established ways and their discoveries around new possibilities for bringing Earth Awareness into their teaching.

Together, we can engage in the challenge and the benefit of holding the Earth as a fully worthy recipient in the circle of MBSR/MBCT care, compassion and embodied action. Teachers prepare for each meeting by engaging with practice and self-reflection prompts, reviewing selected materials, and reviewing the MBSR/MBCT curriculum for the sessions to be discussed.

Teachers are encouraged to write and share between meetings and contribute to a collection of resources to support Earth Awareness. Each teacher will leave this training with a range of materials for continued inspiration. Sessions include community building, Earth-based practice, reflection and sharing, curriculum review, and exploration of ways to bring Earth Awareness into MBSR/MBCT teaching.

This teacher development training is for MBSR and MBCT teachers. Some teaching experience is recommended.
