The next week-long Mindful Self-Compassion teacher training course starts on 24 March 2025. The intensive training takes place at the peaceful and beautiful Holland House residential retreat.

This week long Mindful Self-Compassion teacher training is an intensive, seven-day, residential programme facilitated by a team of senior teachers. The training is built around the eight weekly sessions of the Mindful Self-Compassion programme. Each half day is dedicated to a condensed, experiential review of one of the sessions. These are followed by small group activities designed to give trainees opportunities to practice teaching, guiding and facilitating discussion with the close consultation of one of the teacher trainers. In addition, the training includes short talks, group exercises, discussion, and periods of silence. Participants will be provided with the essential materials to teach Mindful Self-Compassion programmes.

The training is facilitated by Zoe Shobbrook-Fisher (she has been part of the Center for MSC Mindful Self-Compassion Teacher Training team since 2019. Zoe teaches Mindful Self-Compassion and Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction) and Ali Lambie who has a Masters degree in teaching Mindfulness-Based Approaches from the University of Bangor.
