From 2018-2020, the Institute for Mindfulness-Based Wellness and Pedagogy held several in-person and virtual workshops, courses, and certification trainings at universities and other institutions. During the pandemic, the Institute took a break to recalibrate and reconsider how to move forth and be of more value to its clients. Starting in 2023, we will begin re-offering virtual workshops on a variety of topics, with hopes of restarting our teacher certification program in 2024.
Upcoming spring and summer workshops include:
Fundamentals of Mindfulness
Applications of Mindfulness for Educators
Socially Engaged and Trauma-Sensitive Mindfulness
Mindfulness for Performers
Using Mindfulness in the Studio
Mindful Communication
Mindfulness for Ensemble Leaders
Workshops will run between 2-4 hours and will feature opportunities for earning professional development credit. Initial MBWP certification will be offered for participants who complete 16 hours of training (MBWP Level I) and 32 hours of training (MBWP Level II). MBWP Level II certificate holders are eligible to enroll in our teacher certification program once it is offered.

MBWP Teacher Certification
The Mindfulness-Based Wellness and Pedagogy (MBWP) Teacher Certification Program is designed for educators in the arts and other fields who are interested in deepening their knowledge and commitment to mindfulness-based education both in their personal and professional lives. The program aims to create a community of educators dedicated to transforming the culture of education through mindfulness. Participation in the program is available to individuals who have completed MBWP Level II Certification.
MBWP Teacher Certification Requirements
Note: Videos and written material will be reviewed by an MBWP certified teacher and must be deemed acceptable before MBWP certification is approved. In cases where materials are not initially approved, opportunities for further guidance and resubmission may be discussed.
