About the Train to Introduce 10 day course

Train to Introduce Mindfulness is designed to provide skills and competencies to people working in settings where they would like to offer introductory mindfulness skills and practices but not teach a full 8-week course.

It will train you to deliver the 3-session Introducing Mindfulness (IM) curriculum, which offers a brief taste of mindfulness practice, skills and theory in a format intended to be accessible to anyone new to mindfulness. The training also includes guidance on how to implement mindfulness in your context, including practices that may be useful for ‘taster’ sessions, ‘drop-ins’, follow-on practice sessions etc. You can read more about Introducing Mindfulness Course here

IMPORTANT: You do not need to complete this course if you are currently on the OMF 12-month cohort training route.

The OMF provides Confirmation of Attendance letters to all participants who attend and take part in all aspects of 100% of the course, including breakout rooms, with their camera on.

Following this training, you may wish to apply for a Trained to Introduce Mindfulness Certificate confirming your readiness to deliver this course. This is a separate process. You would need to have a Confirmation of Attendance letter and then independently organise and teach at least two 3-session IM courses, receiving at least 4 sessions of supervision per IM course.

Whilst the OMF can provide guidance on finding a supervisor, you would be responsible for finding a suitable supervisor and for the cost of supervision. If you apply for a Trained to Introduce Mindfulness Certificate, your supervisor will be asked to confirm your readiness to deliver the Introducing Mindfulness curriculum. Applying for this Certificate is free of charge.

This course will comprise ten days with a group mentoring session approximately 3 months after the course completion date.

Payment options

We will offer the option to either pay in full or send a deposit payment and pay the balance a month before the course commences.

What will I do on this course?

You will be trained to deliver the IM course and explore the key intentions, structure and outline of the IM course. There will be discussions about where the IM course sits within the scope of broader mindfulness field – the similarities, differences, and any special considerations needed when offering shorter sessions to work colleagues, or other communities within which you intend to offer the 3-session course.
