I’m teaching the last class of a 4-week Intro to Mindfulness course today at noon. The course has been SUCH a success. My students are telling me that they’ve been able to be calm in the face of hardship. That they’ve had a “good month” but don’t know why because nothing has physically changed. I’m writing the dharma talk now on Letting Go and feeling so grateful for the outline your team has given me to spread these messages in such a succinct and clear way. It works! Thank you! 🙏"

I joined the Dharma Moon teacher training because mindfulness has been a transformative part of my own healing, and I wanted to learn how to guide others with confidence and authenticity. The program has strengthened my practice, deepened my understanding of embodied presence, and helped me find my teaching voice through supportive community and hands‑on practice. I especially appreciated the clear structure, compassionate guidance, and practical teaching labs that made the learning feel accessible and real. I would wholeheartedly recommend this training to anyone who feels called to become a certified meditation teacher.

I was looking for a fresh start and when I found Dharma Moon. I looked at other programs, but ultimately chose this program because it felt approachable and non-dogmatic. I’ve been through many certifications. All are informing, helping you understand the subject usually quite well, theoretically speaking. Not all do a great job preparing you to actually go out and do the thing. Dharma moon has a focus on creating good teachers and I found that focus on the actual skill of teaching, not just the teachings, to be an integral part of the experience.I would absolutely recommend this program to others looking to become a meditation teacher.

I had some doubts about whether the program would feel too centered on “American culture,” since I’m from Africa (Mozambique), but I was wrong. I loved the kind and inclusive atmosphere your team created during the sessions; the authenticity and humility with which you approach meditation and its practice and its teaching. A heartfelt thank you.

A Truly Transformative Experience ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I signed up for the Dharma Moon Teacher Training because I had been practicing meditation for years and felt a deep calling to share it with others. I wanted a program rooted in authentic tradition but practical enough to prepare me for real-world teaching, and Dharma Moon exceeded every expectation.
The program didn't just teach me how to guide a meditation, it helped me understand why each practice works, giving me the confidence and foundation to teach anyone. The instructors were genuinely invested in my growth, and the curriculum struck a perfect balance between theory and hands-on practice. The community of fellow trainees was an unexpected bonus !
Would I recommend it? Absolutely and without hesitation. Dharma Moon will not only certify you , it will transform you. One of the best decisions I've ever made.

This training has been a great supplement and support to my personal practice and has allowed me to maintain connection and build connection with Sangha. It was meant a great deal during a particularly challenging time. I am just so very happy and grateful to have found Dharma Moon and it's community. I look forward to seeing some of you at the retreat and other in-person or online events in the future.

I signed up for the program to have an actual certification in meditation in order to tech it at home yoga studio in Orlando, FL. It was accessible and easy to do the classes online and was accommodating to everyone's busy lives.

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. Practice giving talks. An amazing community of Dharma Moon teachers & students and the deep but always accessible teachings from David.

The Mindfulness Meditation teacher training is so much more than I could have imagined. It was so life changing that those in my vicinity were noticing and then talking about meditation as if it were newly discovered. People were naturally becoming curious on their own.

I originally signed up for the meditation teacher training to become more proficient at teaching mindfulness as a mental health therapist. This training is life changing and has provided such a foundation and a deeper understanding of what it means to hold space and teach. Not only do I feel more prepared to do this through my counseling work but I am exploring opportunities to just focus on sharing space and practicing with people outside of my career as a therapist. I especially found the thorough instruction and teaching style helpful and beneficial for me. There are hands on/real practice opportunities in groups, manuals, feedback and time with assistant teachers to really work through the experience and instructions. I would absolutely recommend the Mindfulness Meditation Teacher training program to those interested in teaching or even deepening your own practice with interest in teaching. It has allowed me to grow, self-reflect and assess my capacity and ability to teach responsibly.

I have completed several mindfulness meditation teacher training programs in Canada and the U.S. and periodically seek out further training as continuing education. There is always more to learn!
I highly recommend Dharma Moon’s teacher training programs, both for those new to meditation and for experienced practitioners and teachers. The programs offer a wealth of valuable content, along with ample opportunities to practice teaching and receive constructive feedback from both teachers and peers.
Taught by highly qualified and sincere teachers, Dharma Moon’s sessions provide a clear teaching sequence, an introduction to meditation and its history, and practical approaches for teaching in both private and group settings.
Whether you are pursuing your own interest in meditation or considering teaching others, Dharma Moon’s programs can be deeply beneficial. They provide knowledge, practice, and guidance that can support whatever form of service you wish to offer to your community.

I signed up for this practice and the teachings because I wanted to expand my knowledge on Buddhist philosophy and also mindfulness and meditation together as one. What I experienced was beyond what I thought I would "obtain". Actually, I grew so much as a person, student, and teacher! My magnetism to contemplating life and being in my body in the here and now has expanded. I'm very excited to take these teaching and ripen them and share with family, friends and my community. I also look forward to widening my road on this journey by continuing in to the advanced course! Thank you David and teachers, it was profound and beautiful! Highly Highly recommend!

This training has helped me to gain discipline in meditation, developed a view of the intersections between Buddhism and secular practice, and certified me to share this knowledge at a foundational but powerful level. So all in all, it's meant a great deal to me. Thank you!

I signed up for Dharma Moon’s 100-hour Teacher Training to deepen my own practice and to see if this was something I could actually do.
While I started with a lot of self-doubt, the structure of the modules, the support of David and the staff, and the community that is created over a few months have been truly unbelievable and have left me feeling confident and encouraged.
Not only has my own practice been significantly enhanced through teacher training, I am now confident that meditation is in fact something that I can teach - and is worth sharing!

The class is very thoughtfully designed. All of the instructors and supporting materials are excellent. They pack so much into each session, with not a moment wasted. There is so much intention and integrity in what they are presenting. It felt like a very safe place to learn and explore.
