The ACTUAL Meditation Teacher Training Program
Experience personal and professional transformation with our signature meditation teacher training program.
The ACTUAL Meditation Teacher Training Program is an immersive 7-week (minimum) meditation teacher training course that focuses on the most untapped aspect of meditation: ACTUAL Meditation.
Yes, that’s correct, we focus on the actual practice of meditation as it has been practiced for thousands of years. This is the single most untapped area of the market for meditation teachers. How do I know? Because it is the aspect of meditation in which I myself am recognised as a leader.
But what, exactly, is ACTUAL Meditation?
Well, for starters, here’s what it’s not:
- It’s not an app
- It’s not just guided meditation
- It’s not online videos
- It is not just a collection of online content like virtually every other course is
- It is the art, science, and tradition of meditation as has been taught for thousands of years, led by an actual, leading meditation teacher!

The ACTUAL Meditation Teacher Training Course is not your run-of-the-mill online course. It is an intensive training for experienced meditators. We do not allow just anyone on this course. You must be approved. We work with dedicated and sincere students who truly want to become a part of the new generation of meditation teachers.
