Grounded in comparative literatures of humanities and social science, traditional and contemplative medicines, the arts and sciences, education theory and practice, business and ethics, this certi cate program is intended to teach mindfulness meditation practices with a focus on its various applications within
a wide range of personal and professional domains.
There are TWO levels of training offered in this program:

Both levels can be completed concurrently, but the certi cate will not be issued until all certi cate requirements have been met. No experience

on which to build theory and practice.
