From the period of 2009 to 2022 Mindfullife Institute trained 7 cohorts of MBSR Teachers, 78 individuals in total. Ie. training professionals with a relevant background to teach the classic 8 week Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction program within their existing field of competence.
The program was originally modelled on the training at the training institute at Oasis at The Center for Mindfulness in Medicine, Health Care and Society, at University of Massachusetts Medical School. Mindfullife kept developing the program based both on the research in which we were involved and our experience of training in a danish educational and fixed group context. The training program, soon became one of the internationally seen most comprehensive, with 9 modules, comprising more than 325 hrs of direct training, besides individual studies, multiple in-training-teachings, multiple written assignments as well as several full day group supervisions.
The training was conducted by Eve Bengta Lorenzen, Robert J. Jørgensen and (in the beginning years) a variety of international guest teachers such as Diane Poole Heller, Bob Whitehouse, Navanita Harris, Andrew Fretwell and more. Ensuring that the training was both trauma informed and with a special emphasis on embodiment!
