    • Forming community with other MBSR teachers;
    • Between-session assignments prior to each weekend;
    • Strengthening meditation practice;
    • Widening personal and professional resilience and mindful presence which can be shared with others through teaching.

    Words from Dorsey Standish of Mastermind Meditate on the MBSR Teacher Training with Janet Curry –

    “I have had the supreme pleasure of getting to know Janet over the last year. She has spoken to our team of mindfulness teachers to share her expertise on topics like trauma-informed mindfulness and working with thoughts and emotions during meditation. I also hired her as a private facilitation coach, and most recently had her facilitate a one-hour session for our leadership retreat. I can’t say enough good things about our time with Janet! 

    She conveys a boundless warmth and depth of  personal practice even over Zoom. She leads by example, using the principles of mindfulness and compassion to guide her facilitation, practice and inquiry. We are so grateful to have her as a resource for our growing company and look forward to many more sessions with her.”
