Hey there, this is Maria, and I’d love to take you behind the scenes of our Mindful Facilitator certification program, a journey that began just one year ago.
It feels surreal to look back and see how far we’ve come since we founded this program with the aspiration of cultivating more mindful organizations.
Liliana and I, the co-founders and trainers of this program, come from diverse backgrounds but share a deep passion for mindfulness and its transformative potential.
For me, Maria, this journey began in the corporate coaching world, where I witnessed firsthand the stress and challenges that professionals face daily. Amidst the chaos, I founded and led Mindfulness Communities of Practice, where my passion for mindfulness blossomed. With a background in Computer Science and Coaching and a keen interest in neuroscience, I understood the profound impact mindfulness could have on individuals’ well-being, especially in the fast-paced AI era we live in.
On the other hand, Liliana’s journey led her through entrepreneurship in the well-being field, deepening her understanding and belief in mindfulness over the years. As a qualified teacher for the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction program and a master NeuroMindfulness practitioner, she brought invaluable expertise to our program.
Together, we embarked on a mission to create a program that would empower individuals to integrate mindfulness into their professional lives effectively. We envisioned a program that went beyond mere theoretical knowledge, focusing on practical skills and evidence-based practices to bring about meaningful transformations.
Our program is built on the foundation of secular, research-based content, emphasizing the importance of evidence-based practices in fostering genuine growth. We wanted to equip our participants not only with the knowledge of mindfulness but also with the skills to facilitate it confidently in front of others.
The journey of designing this program has been fun, rewarding and challenging, and there’s still so much more to come! We poured our hearts and souls into curating engaging modules, crafting guided meditation scripts, and designing practical exercises to ensure that every participant receives a comprehensive learning experience. We’re also in the process of becoming ICF-accredited!
As we celebrate the first anniversary of our program, we couldn’t be more proud of what we have created. We’re filled with gratitude for our partners from the Neurominduflness Institute and the incredible individuals who have embarked on this journey with us.
The stories of transformation and the impact our participants are making in their organizations reaffirm our belief in the power of mindfulness.
I am looking forward to the journey ahead, spreading mindfulness and creating positive change, one facilitator at a time.
Thank you for reading,
Maria, co-founder of ‘The Mindful Facilitator’
