CURRENT REVIEWS
Fantastic instructors...so open and kind. Both have so much knowledge that they share with such grace and humility. Absolutely enriching experience! – Participant, School of Continuing Education, University of Toronto, Nov.’19
The most positive (actually, truly awesome) aspects of the course were the teachers. I have never witnessed before what Maslow describes as "eupsychian leadership". After participating in "Mindfulness Without Borders Facilitator Training" I know that it is not only theoretical possibility. This is reality, and both Leah and Moustafa (facilitators) represent "a victorious army, they are revolutionizing society; they are preparing the new world; they are constructing eupsychia. – Participant, School of Continuing Education, University of Toronto, Nov.’19
I really enjoyed the course structure as it gave me something to look forward to and allowed space for the teachings from the first weekend to be reflected on. Great experience, thank you! – Participant, School of Continuing Education, University of Toronto, Nov.’19

Descripción
Este curso está dirigido a educadores, trabajadores sociales, profesionales en el sector salud, así como para todos aquellos interesados en integrar la educación social-emocional a través de la atención plena (Mindfulness) en escuelas, ambientes laborales o familias.
Los beneficios de la educación socioemocional (ESE) han sido comprobados. En esencia, estudios realizados con jóvenes han demostrado que aquellos que reciben ESE como parte de la currícula escolar tienen un más alto rendimiento académico, regulan más fácilmente su comportamiento y establecen relaciones más estrechas tanto con sus compañeros y compañeras así como con los adultos en sus vidas.
A lo largo de 3 sesiones (21 horas) de trabajo, los participantes serán instruidos en la metodología de facilitación del Programa para Embajadores de Mindfulness (PEM) y desarrollarán las habilidades para implementarlo efectivamente en poblaciones de jóvenes y adultos.
Los participantes que cumplan con todos los requerimientos serán elegibles a recibir la acreditación y formarán parte de la creciente familia de Mindfulness Without Borders.

“El Programa para Embajadores Mindfulness me ha enseñado a ser más congruente con lo que pienso, digo y hago. Aceptar mis errores, pero también mis aciertos y a darme cuenta que soy una persona digna de amar a los demás, pero sobre todo a mí misma.” –Participante en el grupo de Jonathan Barrios – Graduado, Certificación PEM México, 2016.
“Lo que aprecié de todo corazón fue que ambas instructoras generaron un espacio acogedor, y donde me sentí no solo cómoda sino segura de compartir mi historia. Lograron generar un ambiente donde todos, a pesar de nuestras diferencias, nos sentimos bienvenidos. ¡Gracias a las dos!” –Participante de la certificación para facilitadores del programa para embajadores de Mindfulness, Toronto.
“El programa es una obra maestra en tanto que destila conceptos complejos de la práctica de la atención plena y los combina virtuosamente con actividades socioemocionales.

"What I wholeheartedly loved is that both instructors always made the workshop so warm, comfortable, and most importantly, safe. At times I would feel that I am saying the wrong things or not being articulate. Never have they made me or anyone from the group feel different. Thank you to both!" - Facilitator Certification Participant
"As a recent graduate of MWB's online facilitator certification program, I can highly recommend this training to anyone that may be interested in facilitating an evidence-based SEL and mindfulness program.
