MBSR Training Level 1-B: Intensive Practice and Teaching
MBSR Intensive Practice and Teaching (IPT) is the second formal training on the Global Mindfulness Collaborative Pathway to teach, providing a deeper dive into the MBSR curriculum's form and essence and greater clarity to its intention, content and flow. True to its name, this training is an intensive immersion in MBSR that strengthens teaching skills and personal practice.

The IPT aims explicitly to develop teaching skills as well as the embodied presence and qualities of heart that support freedom from suffering for ourselves and those we serve.
