TEACHING MEDITATION CAN BE A DEEPLY REWARDING EXPERIENCE
We can help others improve their mental and emotional well-being, reduce stress, improve focus, increase self-awareness and self-regulation -- all while deepening our own practice and understanding.
In the Buddhist tradition, the teacher's role evolves as the depth of the student's practice develops. At every level, and deeply embedded in this tradition, is the notion of filtering whatever you learn through the lens of your own experience and discerning what actually makes sense and what works for you.
Join Senior Buddhist Teacher and Emmy award-winning composer, David Nichtern for a free online discussion on mindfulness practice, teaching meditation, and the role of the meditation teacher.
For those interested in teaching meditation, we will also be discussing the upcoming Dharma Moon Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Training program. We will give an overview of the program, and you'll have an opportunity to ask questions, meet David and our teaching staff, and find out if the Dharma Moon Meditation Teacher Training might be right for you.

STUDENT FEEDBACK ON THE MINDFULNESS MEDITATION TEACHER TRAINING
“I came to the Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Training program because I'm looking to make a significant career shift. I already had a meditation platform (as a side gig) but this certification has given me the inspiration to move that platform to the center of my life so I can make a living teaching meditation, help others learn the practice, and deepen my own practice and path.”
"This training was EVERYTHING! I have been teaching mindfulness meditation for about 5-6 years. My teaching lacked clarity & focus. This program has given me so many gifts. The View. Ground / Path / Fruition. Precision / Gentleness / Letting Go. Practice giving Dharma Talks. An amazing sangha of Dharma Moon teachers & students and the vast but always accessible teachings from David."
“This program was incredible. There are many meditation programs out there and I'm so glad I chose this one. To me it felt grounded and rooted in truth and love. I feel like I was gifted with this knowledge and practice and am excited to go spread it out to others.”
