Are you really getting the most from your Supervision sessions?
In this workshop Alison Evans and Pamela Duckerin, authors of the 2025 book ‘Mindfulness-Based Supervision and Mentoring‘ will help us explore what we can do to ensure supervision sessions meet our needs and support our continued growth and development as mindfulness teachers.
The British Association of Mindfulness-Based Approaches (BAMBA)’s Good Practice Guidelines for Mindfulness Teachers require us to have regular supervision sessions whenever we are teaching courses. The number and frequency of supervision sessions is a matter of agreement between you and your supervisor – but what can you do to ensure that you are making the most of your supervisor and getting the right level of supervision to support your growth and development?
Do you need more supervision sessions or less?
This workshop will explore:
- How to identify appropriate topics of supervision
- How to prepare for, and follow up on supervision sessions
- How supervision informs our teaching and our practice
- What tools are available to support us
- What we can learn from this and each other as a shared community of teachers
- What we are taking away from the session
The session will include a Q&A.
What to expect from this event
