You don't need to become a meditation teacher to help others cultivate the benefits of mindfulness, but you need to know you're doing it right.
Ensure you lead others with current best practices.
Other programs may teach you how to lead mindfulness practices,
but this program also shows you how to obtain support, promote, deliver, grow & measure a grassroots ongoing workplace or community program.
The Calm Monkey is the pioneer in mindfulness facilitator training and workplace implementation.
This began in 2014 and other programs look to this as best-in-class.

Our students say: "This is the perfect program for those wanting to lead mindfulness for others. It's so practical and flexible to suit MY schedule! The community is amazing and so is the personal growth."

Who is this program for?
Practitioners of mindfulness & meditation who want to help others, and those who have been facilitating without credentials
Our students' backgrounds and roles vary greatly, but they all share the same goal -- to help others. Some are employees working in organizations wanting to help their co-workers. Some are service providers, entrepreneurs or small business owners who want to add mindfulness to their service offerings and/or serve community groups. Some facilitate as a hobby, volunteers or are retired.
Some want to make the leap from being a practitioner to a skilled facilitator with confidence. Many are already facilitating but need quality training and credentials, because they want to know they're doing this correctly.
All of our students know that this is not as simple as reading out a meditation script. They want to do this right, avoid risks to their participants and themselves, serve their audiences with ethical, secular, trauma and neurodiverse-informed practices and understand what they're doing and why.

What our students say
Exactly What I Needed, When I Needed It!
Sufyan from Chicago
As a civil rights attorney helping to lead a NGO, I work with my teams and allies to provide support and services to communities facing hate and discrimination. I realized the toll this work takes and was searching for a way to provide resources to those I work with.
I reached out to Wendy Quan and it was life changing! She encouraged me to strengthen my own mindfulness practice and then apply, and enroll, into the Mindfulness Meditation Facilitator Certification course.
Being able to lead my teams and community partners through mindfulness practices has helped us not only take care of ourselves better, but also to be better advocates for those we serve.
The Calm Monkey community has been incredibly thoughtful and helpful throughout the Certification process and has remained supportive as I continue to learn new and better ways to facilitate!
Thank you to The Calm Monkey!
