NOTA: If we have 5 local participants, we will hold this program in the main meditation hall of the Vancouver Shambhala Centre. Otherwise you can take part online individually.

Sobre o treinamento

Weekend one of this training is part of a series of three weekend trainings that are designed as continuing education for already authorized Meditation Instructors, as well as meditation practitioners who are interested in developing as Meditation Instructors. Each weekend is designed to support those interested in sharing the practice of meditation with others to cultivate the understanding and skills to assist others along their meditation path.

Você não precisa comparecer aos três finais de semana. These weekend trainings are ideal for Groups and Centres to include within a mentoring program for those seeking a Meditation Instructor authorization at a local level.

Pré-requisitos: Weekends One and Two are open to everyone with a well-established meditation practice of 2+ years within the Shambhala community. Weekend Three is for authorized Meditation Instructors and those being mentored into the role only.

Fim de semana 2 with Erika Berland, Poderia 4-5, 2024
Fim de semana 3 Janet Solyntjes and Elaine Yuen, Junho 22-23, 2024

Weekend One includes discussion on how to give initial meditation instruction and will include time for questions, answers and insights by participants. Presenters will also address the following topics that are a part of current culture:  

• Meditation instruction online
• How meditation apps can fit in
• Reclaiming attention from social media

Sunday will focus on unpacking Shamatha-Vipashyana, Incluindo: 

• The difference between mindfulness (Shamatha) and awareness (Vipashyana)

The Vancouver Shambhala Centre is developing a local Meditation Instructor Training Course that we hope to offer later this year. The course will include these weekends, plus a 6 week class, and another in-person weekend.
