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 transprofessionalâ"and transformationalâ"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.

Industry 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
