Welcome to the Oxford Mindfulness Member Exchange. Offered exclusively to our Personal Learner Member community, this is a collaborative space where your experience takes centre stage. Hosted by OMF trainers, these sessions are designed for Personal Learner members to share and learn from one another and Trainers.
This is your platform to discuss the topics that matter most to you. We invite you to bring your insights, troubleshoot challenges, and grow alongside a dedicated community of peers.
The Exchange is designed to be supportive, professional, and vibrant—a place where every voice helps us develop our skills and strengthen the mindfulness community.
This is an interactive, online, 1.5-hour workshop which includes small group discussions and an opportunity for Q&A with Oxford Mindfulness Trainers
It’s been created for mindfulness teachers across the field.
