Updated: Feb 10

"My practice has always been about sitting on a cushion and breathing. One of the big things I've learned is that mindfulness is so much more than that. We had to facilitate and one practice I chose was movement. Just moving to a song I love. Before this class, I never would have thought of practicing mindfulness that way. There've been some difficult family issues that have happened over the past year, and in the past couple of months, I've noticed I am handling it differently. So it definitely has had an impact on how I am out there in the world for my family and for my friends." -Susan Peck, 2024 MFC Graduate

Our Mindfulness Facilitator Certification (MFC) registration awaits those of you considering 2025 as your year to build mindfulness into your life's work! We are still basking in the afterglow of the cohort who graduated in July, and we cannot wait to welcome this next group towards a precious path of public practice.


Sometimes we know that teaching is our next step because we're brimming with the benefits of our practice and ready to share them with others. Sometimes we get hung up on not seeing ourselves as teacher...as the facilitator...as "at the helm." Surprisingly both can be the calling to step towards becoming a certified mindfulness instructor because the humility of the practice keeps us aware of our fallible human nature.


As mindfulness facilitators, we put ourselves in front of others and reveal our humanity. Through our vulnerability, we show others how to walk alongside discomfort and remind ourselves along the way. MFC shows you how to empower communities along with yourself.


If you know 2025 is your year to join our next MFC cohort, we welcome you to sign up before January 1st using the code MFC40% for 40% off your tuition! Please note that grant funding is also currently available to cover room and board for the two retreats within the training.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Since 2012, Copper Beech Institute has offered space for reflection, connection, and transformation through mindfulness practice. In 2022, we deepened our compassionate action, dedicating ourselves more specifically to healing racial injustice and creating a greater sense of belonging for people of color in our programming.

​

In 2025, due to funding challenges, we reached a point of completion—the sunset of our organization. While Copper Beech is closing, the work of racial justice and mindfulness continues. This moment brings many emotions, yet it also offers us the opportunity to honor all that has been, and to close this chapter with the same love and intention with which it began while applying our efforts beyond the bounds of the institute.

​

We invite you to visit our blog to witness the impact of our last two years and beyond, and to explore our website as a reflection of all we offered. Final programming for Copper Beech Institute ceased in June 2025, and the office officially closed as of October 2025.
