Certified instructor education with international standard
MBSR, Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction,
by Eve Bengta Lorenzen and Robert J. Jørgensen
Every moment we are arriving at our own door.
EVERY MOMENT WE COULD OPEN IT. In every
moment, we might love again the stranger who was ourself,
who knows us by heart.
-Jon Kabat-Zinn /Derek Walcott
The Mindfulness Instructor Education offers you the opportunity to teach Mindfulness/MBSR
The education combines self-evaluation with a form of mediation, connecting the participants with their own knowledge. This unique form is supportive and brings out the resources of each individual. Based on your profession, you will be able to focus on courses within your specific area of expertise. May it be as psychologist, teacher, doctor, social worker, nurse, psychotherapist or other.
The education is based upon international standards for certification and the newest knowledge within the field of connection between body and mind, as presented by recognised specialists in the field. By linking this knowledge with Mindfulness, future instructors will be on the cutting edge regarding new tendencies and will further be fitted to respond to the needs of the chosen target groups.
The educational training is based on the technical and personal background of the future instructor. As MBSR instructor it is important to be able to ”call out” knowledge in the participants instead of teaching it. Therefore the participants must trust the instructor. The interactive form of teaching must be grounded in the inner balance and authenticity of the instructor. The last module of the instructor education is a training module, where it is not about being ”good” in the traditional sense, but more about being what you teach.

CONTENT AND STRUCTURE OF THE EDUCATION
MODULE I. PROGRAM FOR INSTRUCTORS
Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)
The small ruby everyone wants has fallen out on the road.
Some think it is east of us, others west of us.
Some say, “among the primitive earth rocks,” others,
“in the deep waters.”
Kabir´s instinct told him it was inside, and what it was worth,
and he wrapped it up carefully in his hearth cloth.
-Kabir
Initially we go behind MBSR and the methodology of MBSR. The interactive program offers intense training in Mindfulness meditation, as communicated in MBSR. We explore themes that relate to the use of the program in various scenarios.
Teaching involves consciousness of to be with ourselves and others in new ways. It involves an in-depth training in suspending traditional ways of thinking and perception and offers new and fresh approaches.
Module I is concluded with a course certificate.
MODULE II. TEACHING FROM THE INSIDE OUT
O friend, understand: the body
Is like the ocean,
Rich with hidden treasures.
Open your inmost chamber and light the lamp
-Mirabai
Module II communicates MBSR methodology being based in the body. The module contains background theory, e. g. stress physiology and trauma theory.
Theory changes with Mindful Movement. Via the active and direct participation in our own experience, Mindfulness is integrated on a deeper level and in a way not possible through normal conceptual understanding.
Module II further contains an introduction to Mindfulness Based Dialogue.
A unique form of dialogue, supporting the connection and development of the participant’s inner knowledge and serenity.
Module II is concluded with a course certificate.
MODULE III. TEACHERS TRAINING
Presence… is a Being deep within ourselves,
Something to rely on,
Something to give us firmness, almost like a spine,
And offering us a calm mindset to life.
Having this small vibrating phenomenon inside,
you are invulnerable and no longer alone.
It is always there and everywhere
- Sri Aurobindo
The interactive training generates confidence in this form of teaching and competence in the diverse didactical and experience based elements of the MBSR program.
The module contains elements of presentation and didactic, guidance in meditation, inquiry and group dynamic, as well as preparation of own material. Integration of key principles from MBSR into professional related operation. Exploration of identity and integrity as MBSR instructor.
The teaching competence is built up gradually. Confidence in teaching/supervising is first obtained in smaller groups, then in larger groups. Focus will be on supporting and developing qualities as a teacher of the individual.
Module 3 is concluded with a certification of the education.
SILENT RETREAT
Part of the education is 5 days of Silent Retreat in beautiful surroundings.
The Retreat takes place before module III and is obligatory for certification. If a participant has a solid retreat background within relevant tradition, dispensation may be possible. This is assessed individually.
PRACTICE AND SUPERVISION
Before module III begins, the participant must host his own MBSR course for a smaller group.
Expenses for supervision related to this may be possible.
During or after module III and before the certification, the participant will host his first real MBSR course with supervision, adjusted the needs of the individual participant.
