What Other Mindfulness Teachers Are Saying
“We ran a pilot with 10 of our mindfulness champions and the feedback on it was amazing. A few of them said it was the best course that they’d ever done, and a lot of them said that it was more accessible than anything that they had experienced. It was easier for them to digest the information, it was easier for them to remember what was in the course and then go out and change habits and behaviours.”
“This course has provided a solid foundation to support the beginning of my mindfulness and compassion teaching career and has enabled me to grow, learn and develop further with increased confidence.”
“I got lovely messages from participants, but also from our people champions and the leadership team. Thank you so much, Angie, for being such a fantastic tutor on the CMR and CMR TtT courses and for being the best supervisor I could have asked for. Your words of wisdom and encouragement mean so much to me. I feel so very supported and encouraged on this path.”
“Teaching the course has been a great experience. I’m now delivering CMR in companies, with another course coming up soon, and I’m also taking it into public settings.”
“I’m feeling incredibly humbled by my experience facilitating the first ever Compassionate Mindful Resilience programme for an incredible group of women from the Women in Leadership Alumni Network at UCL. Thank you to MindfulnessUK for your continual support and encouragement. I’m looking forward to taking the CMR into more spaces in the future, it’s so needed in our world right now.”
