Please use this form to apply for the 2026 Certificate Program: "Integrating Mindfulness into Professional Service"
In January 2027 a 10-week in-depth training will begin for those that want to deepen their integration of mindfulness practices into their clinical/coaching/education/service work. There will be one meeting every 2 weeks with the cohort facilitator (Dr. Zvi Bellin) that will orient a specific focus with a clinical case presentation and highlighting specific integration skills. Participants will be encouraged to engage in a daily-life mindfulness practice of their choosing. Participants will be paired up as accountability buddies for check-ins every 2 weeks. The cohort facilitator will suggest a framework for each accountability buddy check-in. The cohort will share resources that connect with the theme of the training and will offer weekly wellness practices through the Whole Person Center for the entire NU community. A highlight of this program will be the integration of multicultural competency and a trauma-informed lens when engaging in Mindfulness Integrated Professional Service. Upon successful completion of the cohort requirements, cohort members will receive a certificate of completion. The certificate cohort will be limited to 45 participants. We will use the information below to create a cohort that represents the diversity of our NU community. Please submit your application by Nov. 30th.
