Sage Institute’s Meditation Leader Training Program
It’s increasingly clear that the human race is in need of a radical shift in consciousness if we are to transform this world from one of selfishness and exploitation into one of thriving interdependence and community. Thankfully, we have some of the best tools for growing human consciousness right at our fingertips: meditation and mindfulness practices.
You’ve experienced the life-changing tools of mindfulness and meditation in your own life, If you feel passionate about sharing these transformational tools and skills, join us in a powerful 9-month journey into meditation leadership.
Sage Institute’s Meditation Leader Training Program is a comprehensive meditation teacher training program for experienced meditation practitioners to learn how to effectively and authentically teach others the transformative practices of meditation and mindfulness.
Sage Institute offers one of the only meditation teacher training programs developed and approved by Buddhist teachers from a 2500-year old lineage. Sean Tetsudo Murphy, lead teacher, worked closely with a variety of Buddhist and meditation experts to develop our unique curriculum. Sean is a formal Zen Sensei with over 30 years of Zen training and 25 years of experience teaching meditation to laypeople. Although we introduce our students to the prevailing meditative forms in the West such as Zen and Vipassana, our program has developed its own inclusive, secular approach to teaching meditation and mindfulness, suitable for students of any contemplative tradition.
The next cohort starts in January 2025 — Apply today!
