"Mindfulness-Based Teaching and Learning is the first comprehensive survey text exploring the history, research, theory, and best practices of secular-scientific mindfulness. With a focus on how it is taught and learned, this book will be an invaluable resource for aspiring or expert mindfulness specialists across professions. Integrating and defining the emerging field of MBTL within a common purpose, evidence-base, and set of trans-professional-and transformational-practices, it provides a visionary agenda in the midst of highly practical techniques and tools. Whether because of the landmark expert validated MBTL-TCF competency framework, curriculum-design guides, or the emergence of ecological awareness through mindful encounters with wildlife during intensive retreats, this book will become a dog-eared and well-worn resource for your personal and professional library and life"--

Mindfulness-Based Teaching and Learning is the first comprehensive survey text exploring the history, research, theory, and best practices of secular-scientific mindfulness. With a focus on how mindfulness is taught and learned, this book is an invaluable resource for aspiring or expert mindfulness specialists. Integrating and defining the emerging field of MBTL within a common purpose, evidence-base, and set of transprofessional—and transformational—practices, the book provides both a visionary agenda and highly practical techniques and tools. Chapters provide curriculum design and teaching tips, explore the expert-validated MBTL-TCF competency framework, and reveal insights into the ways self-awareness can evolve into ecological awareness through intensive retreats.

Reviews

"Combining rigorous scholarship with an intuitive understanding of contemplative practice, this impressive book makes a compelling case for mindfulness as an embodied bridge linking the broad domains of education and self-growth. It is a wonderful resource for educators, mindfulness teachers, and professionals interested in fostering curiosity, sensory processing, and awareness as platforms for lifelong learning and well-being." Zindel Segal, PhD, Distinguished Professor, University of Toronto, Scarborough

"Seonaigh MacPherson and Patricia Rockman have integrated material from a wealth of disciplines, distilling the teaching and learning of secular-scientific mindfulness to cultivate personal and societal wellbeing. In so doing, they bring divergent views of western mindfulness together, emphasizing a common and critical goal in a western world that is in dire need of working toward well-being on all levels." Ellen Katz, PhD, associate professor, Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social Work, University of Toronto

"This book is a deep dive into the mindfulness field, exploring many of its significant questions, themes, and controversies: its history, how mindfulness emerged in multiple sectors, and scientific and clinical issues. A standout is the useful rubric for evaluating and training mindfulness teachers. Thoroughly researched, meticulous, and comprehensive, this book will be a landmark text for the mindfulness field for years to come." Diana Winston, director of mindfulness education, UCLA Mindful Awareness Research Center, and author of The Little Book of Being
