'Teaching mindfulness-based programs with quality and integrity' feat. Prof. Rebecca Crane

Mindfulness training is becoming increasingly accessible to everyday people in the mainstream, both through books and digital platforms and through access to teachers. We might imagine the possibility that on a societal level, embedding mindfulness practice into everyday life could become recognized and promoted as a pragmatic way to support well-being—in similar ways to how physical exercise is perceived. This emerging engagement with contemplative practices in mainstream culture and institutions holds great promise, but there are also particular sensitivities related to bringing contemplative practices into the mainstream. How do we meet the practical challenges of enabling breadth of accessibility while maintaining the transformational potential of the practice? How do we align with the scientific evidence base while meeting important developmental frontiers? How do we ensure that Mindfulness-Based Program (MBP) teachers are well prepared to guide others? How does the public know how to choose an MBP teacher? How do we skillfully innovate so that MBP teaching is flexed and tailored to a diversity of contexts and populations? How do MBP teachers skillfully integrate into their teaching the reality of this moment in history, with its intersecting crises of climate and biodiversity breakdown, inequality, and generational imbalances? The talk examines these questions and more from the perspective of current empirical and practice-based developments, and considers the many frontiers and challenges for the MBP field going forward. Prof. Rebecca Crane directs the Centre for Mindfulness Research and Practice at Bangor University and has played a leading role in developing its training and research program since it was founded in 2001. She teaches mindfulness-based program (MBP) teachers, trainers, and supervisors internationally, and guides mindfulness retreats. She trained originally as an occupational therapist, and later as an integrative counsellor, and worked in the UK National Health Service offering therapy to people with complex mental health challenges for 15 years.
