'Into The Depths' Mindfulness Teacher Training Program Application

'Into The Depths' Mindfulness Teacher Training Program Application

Primary Instructor: Dora Kamau
This application form is for the Fall 2025 Cohort. Enrollment officially begins May 2025, however, applications can still be submitted.

This mindfulness teacher training and mentorship program is a 12-week highly experiential and immersive program for aspiring mindfulness practitioners to refine their teaching and facilitating skills and connect to their most authentic selves. This mentorship program does not emphasize the learning of new skills, but remembering and revealing that which already lies within.

In Pali, mindfulness translates as “to remember”. Through meditation, self-inquiry and experiential learning, students will begin to uncover their authentic teaching style and ways that they can begin to show up for their communities.

Throughout the 12-weeks, students will learn to develop a steadiness and confidence in the way you show up as a mindfulness teacher. Using an integrated and human-centered approach, you will have an opportunity to understand the shadow self that can often hinder us from guiding from a place of authenticity and integrity. There will also be ample opportunities to reflect on the values and intentions we have as practitioners and sharpen and refine our skills.

Mostly important, unlike other programs that ask students to assimilate to the ‘right way’ of teaching, students in this program will be invited to become more of themselves. It is through embodiment of the practice, a deep understanding and relationship to what we are teaching and the development of necessary skills that our inner teach can come alive.

Next steps:

If enrollment is open, once your application is submitted, you will hear back from Dora in 3-5 business days.

If enrollment is not open, once you submit your application, you will hear back from Dora when enrollment officially begins.

Upon acceptance into the program, please submit your $500 non-refundable deposit via PayPal.
