PROGRAMMES

MOOC/Online Course

Responding to concerns about public confusion regarding mindfulness in contemporary societies, and concerned about the vulnerability of people interested in practicing mindfulness today, MentalPraxis developed a comprehensive MOOC (massive open online course) with Leiden University, available  since 2016 for free through Coursera.  In 2020 it also launched on FutureLearn. So far, his course has served more than 150,000 participants - it is ongoing.

Honours Course

Seeking to offer a responsibly academic course that balanced analytical, third person knowledge with experiential, first-person learning, MentalPraxis offers an intensive credit-awarding course in the Honours Academy of Leiden University, in The Netherlands each year.  This innovative course is built around an inter- and multi-disciplinary interrogation of mindfulness, as well as responsible participation in practice.

Mindfulness Philosophy & Praxis (MP2)

Responding to requests ​to provide a more philosophically oriented course about (and in) mindfulness, MentalPraxis has developed a unique variant on the standard 8-week MBCT/MBSR programme that integrates philosophical analysis with rigorous practice sessions.  This course was designed for participants interested in exploring the fundamental concept of mindfulness as it appears in various philosophical traditions around the world.  


​Supervision

Realising that not everyone is able to attend MentalPraxis courses, and also that many who have completed such courses (or others) require further support, MentalPraxis is able to offer individual or group supervisions.  These can range from therapeutic sessions to technical or skills training courses, and can be designed for various levels of experience and for various different contexts.
