This residential retreat is designed to train Dharma Ocean tantrikas to teach Meditating With the Body programs, including single talks, weekends, and courses. It will provide tools, techniques, and course outlines to support teachers in offering the Meditating With the Body teachings in a variety of contexts. Only people who have attended this retreat will be authorized to teach the Meditating With the Body material. Reggie will lead this training assisted by Caroline Pfohl, Tami Simon, and David Iozzi, each of whom have extensive experience in teaching Meditating With the Body in various formats.
In order to attend the program and receive authorization, you must have attended at least one VTI. If you are not yet a meditation instructor, you will also need to commit to attending the MI Training that Caroline Pfohl is offering at the 2015 VTI. Non-MIs authorized to teach MWTB through the teacher training will need to complete the MI Training before your authorization will take effect.
