About the Training

Our 4-day Advanced Mind-body Medicine Training Program is the second step in the most complete experiential and didactic training in mind-body medicine available — anywhere. It is also the next step as we continue our commitment to working with you on your professional growth and development.

This training will teach you how to implement CMBM’s mind-body skills groups and conduct workshops in your community. Presentations and panels in the large group sessions provide in-depth instruction and solutions to common issues that arise in groups. You’ll receive practical experience in the small groups, where you’ll co-facilitate a session and receive compassionate guidance and feedback. A printed, comprehensive manual will provide you with scripts and instructions for using mind-body techniques and step-by-step guidance on facilitating future groups in your community.

Tuition

Application to this training program is by invitation only. Because of a grant awarded to the Collaborative from the Hurricane Harvey Relief Fund of the Greater Houston Community Foundation, this program is being provided FREE of CHARGE to accepted participants of this training. Unfortunately, due to limited capacity, we may not be able to accept all of those who apply. Therefore, submission of this application/registration is NOT confirmation of your acceptance into the program.

FAQs

No FAQs at this time.

I have lots of experience with mind-body medicine. Can I take the Advanced Mind-Body Medicine training right away?

Advanced Training is opened only to those who completed the initial Mind-Body Medicine Professional Training Program. Sorry – no exceptions!

Can I get the student rate?

We do not have a student rate for this program. If needed, you are welcome to apply for a partial tuition scholarship.

Can I attend half/part of the program?

No. Because this is a training program, not a conference, we ask for a commitment from you to attend the entire training program, including all didactic and group sessions.

What does my tuition cover? Does the tuition include accommodations? How can I reduce my travel costs?

Tuition covers all lectures and lunch during the program. The tuition does not include any other meals or accommodations. Visit the Travel page for information on our discounted room rate (book early to assure availability!)

I need a paper registration to give my employer for approval- what do I do?

Please register online with a minimum $200 deposit. After completing registration you can print an invoice and have your institution send a check. Please make the check payable to: The Center for Mind-Body Medicine and send to: The Center for Mind-Body Medicine, 5225 Connecticut Ave, NW, Suite 414, Washington, DC 20015. We must receive your check prior to the deadline indicated on the Tuition page to avoid your card being charged the remaining balance. Contact payments@cmbm.org if there is a delay in obtaining a check.

Can I register over the phone/fax?

We encourage all attendees to register online in our online registration system (it only takes 5-10 minutes and is secure). If you would like to register by phone, please contact us at (202) 966-7338 x219.

I find your National and Regional work very interesting, and want to become faculty. How do I do that?

Our faculty members for Global Trauma Relief programs are chosen from among our most experienced faculty world-wide. To be considered in the future, the path starts with attending the initial Mind-Body Medicine Training followed by Advanced Mind-Body Medicine and Certification.

Can I purchase conference recordings since I can't attend? Do you have online programs?

Unfortunately, because this training has such large experiential portion, none of it can be taken online or as a long-distance course at this time.

I teach yoga or qigong and would like to teach at Advanced Mind-Body Medicine. Whom do I contact?

Please email mindbody@cmbm.org with your name, a description of your practice, and your CV. You will be contacted if we are in need of an additional teacher.
