Shift to a Greener Mindset.
The intention of this course is to offer a transformational process for a mindset shift leading to long-term and systemic thinking and acting, fostering a transition towards more green and fair societies.
This course is open to anyone who is drawn to meeting like-minded people, suffers from eco-anxiety and wants to overcome their helplessness.
This course is also a prerequisite for mindfulness teachers (such as MBSR or MBCT teachers or mindfulness teachers with an equivalent background) to begin teacher training for MBST.
We have a 4 year long partnership with the Sustainability Center at Lund University working closely together with Christine Wamsler setting the framework for MBST.
