Who Should Apply?

MMTCP welcomes committed practitioners from all professional backgrounds and walks of life who are ready to deepen their practice while learning to guide others.

You're a Good Fit If You:

Have an Established Practice

You've maintained a regular meditation practice for at least two years and continue to practice consistently. Your personal practice is the foundation for everything you'll learn and teach.

Feel Called to Teach

You're drawn to sharing mindfulness with others—whether in your existing profession or through new offerings in your community. You don't need to know exactly how you'll teach yet, just that you feel called to this work.

Are Ready for Inner Work

You possess the emotional and spiritual maturity to engage in honest self-reflection, explore your own growth edges, and receive constructive feedback with openness. This training will challenge you in meaningful ways.

Embrace Inclusive Teaching

You're willing to thoughtfully examine how social conditioning around race, gender, class, ability, and other dimensions of identity shapes your perspective and impacts how you teach and relate to diverse students.

Professional Backgrounds We Welcome

MMTCP graduates teach in many contexts:

  • Healthcare: Therapists, counselors, nurses, doctors, social workers
  • Education: Teachers, professors, school counselors, administrators
  • Wellness: Yoga instructors, fitness professionals, health coaches
  • Business: HR professionals, leadership coaches, organizational consultants
  • Community: Spiritual care providers, nonprofit leaders, community organizers
  • New teachers: Those creating entirely new offerings in their communities
  • Lifelong learners: Those seeking to embody and stabilize spiritual awakening

You don't need teaching experience or a specific professional credential—just commitment to the practice and the intention to serve others.

What We're Looking For

Depth of practice over years of practice
Genuine calling to teach over polished plans
Openness to growth over having it all figured out
Commitment to learning over prior teaching experience

Not Sure If You're Ready?

That's okay. The application process itself is designed to help you reflect on your readiness.
