Last week we had the great privilege of visiting IMS to film Joseph Goldstein and Sharon Salzberg, two of the featured instructors in our upcoming mindfulness teacher training. Joseph offered teachings on how to ground mindfulness practice in the body, while Sharon clearly and concisely explained the practice of lovingkindness meditation, and led us through a guided meditation session.
Both of these seasoned meditation instructors also spoke about what they view as the most essential characteristics of mindfulness teachers, and how to cultivate them. The footage of these teachings will be used in our mindfulness teacher training and certification program, launching this September. It is greatly beneficial to have teachers the caliber of Sharon & Joseph helping us with this project, and it was a real treat to get to drop into the quiet, peace, and beauty of an early Spring day at IMS!
