MECL 1:
MINDFUL EATING/CONSCIOUS LIVING:
A FOUNDATIONAL PROFESSIONAL TRAINING
The intersection of mindfulness,
eating and our relationship to food is the focus of this
Mindful Eating/Conscious Living professional training.
Inherent within that juncture are the thoughts, emotions
and physical sensations that impact how we relate to
food and our body in skillful and unskillful ways.
The training emphasizes experiential engagement in
mindfulness meditation practices and mindful eating
awareness exercises, so that the participants will be
able to pass the benefit of these exercises on to
clients and patients in a variety of settings. These
practices and exercises are integral components of the
eight- session Mindful Eating Syllabus designed by Bays
and Wilkins, which provides the organizing structure for
creating a program appropriate to the individuals and
groups you serve. This training centers on building
skills as you explore, experience and learn to teach
core aspects of mindful eating.
Note: This is a required course for MECL Teacher
Qualification and Certification.

MECL 2:
MINDFUL EATING - CONSCIOUS LIVING:
DEEPENING YOUR SKILLS AND PRACTICE
This training is designed for professionals who
have completed ME-CL1 or an equivalent mindful eating
professional training program, have an ongoing formal
meditation practice, and have led one or more 8-week
mindful eating programs or equivalent.
While it is true that any aspect of life can be an entry
way to becoming more mindful, disordered eating often
comes with a complex history that can manifest in
reactive behaviors. We will examine the importance of
meeting ourselves and our participants with steadiness
and kindness, and carefully contemplate the place of
compassion in this program. This training will focus on
the cultivation of intentional presence, authenticity,
integrity and mindfulness-informed boundaries that
support both the teacher and participants.
Note: This is a required course for MECL Teacher
Qualification and Certification.

MBSR: MINDFULNESS-BASED STRESS REDUCTION
6-DAY TEACHER TRAINING
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is an
empirically-supported 8-week psycho-educational group
intervention that teaches mindfulness meditation as a
health intervention. Created by Jon Kabat-Zinn in 1979,
MBSR offers participants the possibility to develop a
different relationship to stress resulting from chronic
physical and psychological illnesses. Research outcomes
have demonstrated positive improvements in physical and
psychological symptoms, as well as changes in health
attitudes and behaviors. This 5-day teacher training
retreat will provide health care professionals and
educators the opportunity to study and experience the
foundational underpinnings, mindfulness meditations and
specific exercises that are the framework of the MBSR
program. The themes, rationales, intention and practice
skills of each MBSR class session will be reviewed,
discussed and practiced.
