Centred Meditations Teacher Training is a great way to build the foundations behind your practice: Understand the broader context of meditation, why it works and how it is the bedrock of self-discovery and greater wellbeing. I enjoyed that the program is much broader than just learning how to teach. One of the program’s biggest benefits is learning what you need to know before you can teach! I loved that the program focussed on spending time on what matters most versus memorising particular traditions or ceremonies – wonderful in their own right but not that interesting for me to learn personally.

Any program is only as good as its instructors – Kevin, Nikki & Walter are an incredible team who genuinely care and are deeply passionate about their mission! They provide a brilliantly modern teaching approach to a universal technique – unbounded by any single philosophy or organisation. They are also extremely generous with their time – inside and outside of hours! No question is too big or small to answer. Kevin & Nikki provide wonderful perspectives from their journey as teachers – they are brilliant at translating many centuries of content and literature into digestible form! Walter is a living encyclopedia of knowledge and an incredible role-model! I feel like I have only touched the surface of what this man has to bring to the world and have already learnt so much.

Why would I recommend Centred Meditation’s Teacher Training program? Because the world needs more people meditating – and that needs more teachers! Kevin, Nikki and Walter are the best teachers you could hope your in the next part of your journey!

The program takes a bottom up approach where the first half is centred around your own growth and development and the second half around the technical side of teaching meditation.  The program content is designed and delivered so incredibly well. It resulted in instant engagement with all the other attendees and the formation of strong bonds through the art of sharing stories.  It was incredible watching everyone grow throughout this program!

The support, encouragement, wisdom and kindness offered by Nikki, Kevin & Walter was unwavering. To have three people living out their life purpose having only your best interest at heart is a huge platform from where to grow from. The wealth of knowledge they bestowed upon us was just amazing and their willingness to share their time and personal experiences made the content so relatable and interesting. I looked forward to creating time every week to savour my program notes.

All through the program I felt that I was actively developing and the content definitely stretched me at times, which made me develop even further. Once I started to see the benefits it was like uncovering a piece of my very own jigsaw puzzle!

I strongly recommend this program, for anyone serious about their meditation practice and ready for the next step either for their own personal journey or teaching aspirations

From the inner growth part, I learned so much about myself and came to realise and accept that I don’t have to act and be a certain way that was expected and conditioned in me growing up. I feel like I can now be me; I can accept my body and my voice and who I am.

From the meditation component, I now have everything I need to design, record, share, accept feedback, practice, and keep saying ‘Yes, Yes, Yes’ to every opportunity.

I would recommend the program to anyone who shows an interest. Anyone who is interested in true growth work. Anyone who is stressed out and perhaps could do with some healing.

I completed the Teaching Certificate in Guided Effortless Meditation with Centred Meditation in September 2021 and found the course content to be really informative and detailed, clear and easy to understand and an absolute joy to be taught by Walter, Kevin, and Nikki. Looking back on my life before I started coaching and training with them, it was like I had been walking around with my eyes closed! I now understand the root causes of the emotional distress that I have lived with since I was a child and with their genuinely caring, unwavering support, I have been able to address these causes, resulting in my becoming more empowered and confident in my life. When I started the course, I honestly had no idea whether teaching was actually for me, however, it feels so ‘right’.  I find writing the meditations a creative, enjoyable process, and guiding people in mediation – helping them to enter into a calm and relaxing state, very rewarding. By far, this is one of the best things I have ever done.

I found it was a good 50/50 split of inner-growth work and working towards the goal of being a teacher and taking guided meditation sessions. Now that I have completed the course, I feel further in my journey to peeling back the layers that life has inadvertently laid down on me over the years, and most surprisingly, I am feeling prepared and happy to take guided meditation sessions for my friends and family, something I had not intended I would be doing.

The group was incredibly supportive and strong bonds were formed over the course of 14 weeks.

I cannot speak highly enough of Walter, Nikki and Kevin who are all exceptional teachers and mentors who want only the best for their students.

I would recommend this course to anyone who believes in meditation and the positive benefits long term meditating can bring to our lives and is ready to go on a journey of self-discovery, regardless of whether you want to become a teacher or not.

I loved the Teaching Certificate in Guided Effortless Meditation and the community that has grown around the principles of Effortless Meditation. This course has given me the skills and confidence to give the gift of reflection and internal calm to the wider public, and the time and space for self-compassion and inner growth.

I am so grateful for this course and the experiences that come with it. It has been life changing.
