A letter from Sean Fargo
Dear friends,
We’re facing one of the most difficult times in human history. People around the world are more stressed, anxious and depressed than ever.
The world needs more mindfulness meditation teachers. That's why I believe that mindfulness teacher training should be accessible to all.
Unfortunately, it's difficult to find mindfulness teacher trainings that are customizable for your unique mindfulness experience and teaching goals. It's also difficult to receive accredited certification for less than $7,000 and two years of intensive training. And even if you certify, it's difficult to find a brandable mindfulness curriculum that you can immediately use to teach your own classes, courses and workshops.
This program solves all of this for you.
For 5 years, we have helped hundreds of meditators to teach mindfulness in business, healthcare, coaching, wellness and education with integrity, confidence and credibility. This program is internationally accredited by The Continuing Professional Development Certification Service.
It's all completely self-paced without pressure, deadlines, travel or dogma.
This program can help you:
For real-world outcomes that make a meaningful impact:
