SUMMARY:How Adults Learn: Essential Principles for Mindfulness Educators
DESCRIPTION:How can diving into the psychology of how adults learn deepen both your mindfulness offerings and your own practice? This engaging 6-week course equips MMTCP alumni with essential adult learning principles that will provide you with new perspectives on your teaching\, coaching\, consulting\, counseling\, and facilitation. \n \nIn this co-created learning space\, you’ll explore adult learning-aligned strategies for designing powerful learning experiences\, adapting your teaching to different contexts\, strengthening psychological safety\, and building trust—learning not only from course content but from each other’s experiences and insights.  Whether you’re leading 8-week courses\, one-on-one coaching sessions\, or workplace trainings\, these foundations will sharpen your ability to plan from an adult learning perspective\, meet adult learners where they are\, support meaningful change\, and maybe even enjoy your work more!  \n \nInstructor Alison Cohen\, MMTCP mentor (2019-2025) and guiding teacher of Two Wings Mindfulness\, is an enthusiastic adult learning and development nerd whose deep dives into this arena (including PhD coursework) have strengthened her own mindfulness-based teaching\, coaching\, and consulting—and she’s excited to share what she’s gleaned with fellow teacher-practitioners. \n \nRegistration for this series is now closed; we hope to see you at another one of our programs.   \n \nSession dates and times are:  \nMondays from 12-1:45 pm ET (with +15 minutes of optional Office Hours): March 9\, 16\, 23\, 30 (no class April 6)  April 13 and 20.   \n \n \nLearn more Alison here

SUMMARY:Mentor-led Session with Alexa Redner
