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!

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.

Since the training, I have led classes for healthcare providers to reduce burnout, countless meditation groups at the health clinics I have worked at (I'm a physician assistant), and at various therapy practices, nursing homes, and other locations. The training truly gave me the confidence and skills I needed to offer the practice more widely, and I am so thankful that I did it!

It's been an opportunity to dive deeper into the background of mindfulness meditation. I've discovered a practice that makes me independent from apps. And, most importantly, I have found a community of like minded people from around the world. I was hesitant about the fact that the program was completely online. The teachers and team navigated that beautifully though. I felt very much in community with everyone in the training and the time spent online never felt tedious.

This course was an incredible step in a lifelong journey to deepen my own practice and understanding and to help people find and understand their own journeys. I thought it was an exceptional program. A very warm and tearful thank you!

This training helped deepen my practice and provided structure for how I present mindfulness instruction to others. I especially appreciated having the opportunity to practice the skills and getting feedback from peers and teachers. I feel like this training contributed to a lot of personal growth in a short time and I gained so much from the practice, community, and education.

Dharma Moon has helped me in my own journey of becoming a meditation seeker, opening a door for my own practice and others in my community. I highly recommend this training for teachers in all areas, it is a practical and useful guided self growth, trickles down to everyone and anyone you encounter in your daily work and mindful practice.

I joined the Dharma Moon Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Training course with two objectives: to develop my meditation practice and to assess my potential for providing meditation training for people in my community, intially for people in my personal network. I believe that the course has met both objectives. The course has acquainted me with mindfulness meditation, which was a new experience for me. I believe that mindfulness may prove to be a more transformative meditation practice for me then the one I have used in the past in that it more effectively helps me bring meditative qualities from the meditation session out into everyday life. The combination of intellectual and experiential training throughout the course has given me the confidence to consider myself as a teacher running a meditation center. The course is well designed and impeccably executed, including the leadership, the solid qualities of the teachers and well developed course materials. I warmly recommend the course for people interested in developing their own meditation practice as well as in training others in the field of meditaiton and personal development.

I signed up so I could help folks learn to meditate without any true plan or expectation. I am very pleased at how this turned out to be not too tight, not too loose, just the right amount of information. There was such a strong support from teachers and classmates as well. It has been a great experience!

For anyone interested in teaching mindfulness meditation, or just deepening your own practice, this is the perfect training. This live virtual training exceeded all my expectations. The commitment and professionalism of all the teachers, staff and teacher trainees was most impressive. The result was an experience that fostered learning, growth and community. I am so grateful to everyone at Dharma Moon and the Spring 2024 cohort !

After looking at various meditation teacher programs, the Dharma Moon 100-Hour Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Training resonated with me the most. And it was definitely the right choice. The program is extremely well organized, David Nichtern's wonderful teachings are precise and insightful, and the Dharma Moon Team was super supportive as were my fellow teacher trainees. I highly recommend this excellent program to anyone interested in becoming a mindfulness meditation teacher.

During my med school days, we often were encouraged to "see one, do one, teach one" as a reminder that there's no substitute for learning a skill by doing. It's in essence the heart of any meditation practice: PRACTICE. The MMTT gave me wonderful, specific opportunities to practice the essentials of mindfulness meditation instruction in a very hands-on way. I've had a longtime meditation practice, and the MMTT taught me how to translate my approach in a clear and concise way for beginners and non-Buddhists. We delved into the realities of acting as a teacher: answering questions, knowing your scope, how to adapt, how to market, and how to deepen your own practice through teaching. The Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Training is a skillful, skills-based approach. I highly recommend it.
