Meditation Teacher Training

Many people are looking for profound and meaningful experiences that go beyond material success. Meditation and mindfulness practice offer access to these essential experiences by directing attention to the present moment and allowing judgmental thoughts to recede. As a meditation teacher, you convey the formal practice of a non-intentional and non-judgmental attitude, which allows for a deeper encounter with the essence of life.

Since 2019, we have been training competent meditation teachers in our program, following a secular approach that does not involve mixing with other methods such as fantasy journeys or relaxation techniques. Our scientifically oriented course places great emphasis on self-experience, including participation in two training retreats, to foster a comprehensive understanding and authentic practice. Since 2011, we have been running a meditation studio with Meditas and, in our meditation teacher training, we pass on comprehensive knowledge and skills that we have gained through our own many years of practice and experience.

Alumni Testimonials

"I have been involved with meditation for a long time, but it was only during the training at Meditas that I gained a very clear understanding and valuable guidance for my own meditation practice. This clarity, together with the pedagogical and group dynamic foundations and the inspiring exchange within a group of enthusiastic meditators, has strengthened me to now pass on meditation myself."
