With so much happening in the world right now, it can be tempting to use meditation as a way to tune out. At its best, meditation helps us meet life more clearly and respond with greater awareness and care.

Beginning June 12th, the Dharma Moon - Tibet House Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Training offers a structured path for deepening your own practice while learning how to guide others.
Led by Buddhist teacher, author, and Grammy-nominated musician David Nichtern, this training combines meditation practice, Buddhist psychology, and practical instruction on how to teach mindfulness in a clear and accessible way.

You will learn how to lead group meditation sessions, work with students one-on-one, and support others in developing a meaningful meditation practice.

Graduates receive certification from Dharma Moon and Tibet House US, the cultural center of His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
