Training & Certification
The certification program is in development. The first cohort is expected to begin once the pilot research is completed and the curriculum has been fully validated.
While the certification program is not yet open for enrollment, this page outlines our intention: to build a rigorous, ethically grounded, evidence-aligned training for those who wish to guide others into the principles and practices of nondual awareness in a safe and trauma-informed way.
Training structure
A structured online course covering nondual awareness theory, neuroscience of self-processing, stress physiology, trauma-informed principles, ethics and scope of practice, the psychology of perceptual shifts, and how NDSR differs from traditional mindfulness.
Because NDSR is experiential, training includes:
The goal is embodied understanding — teachers teach from what they have realized, not just what they have studied.
Trainees will guide small groups through NDSR exercises while receiving supportive feedback. This phase ensures new instructors can facilitate safely, track group dynamics, recognize signs of overwhelm, and ground participants in the present moment.
Before full certification, trainees will demonstrate competence in delivering the 8-week curriculum, clear understanding of safety protocols, ability to guide basic nondual pointing-out instructions, and comfort working with diverse populations.
No specific professional license required, but trainees must have a stable baseline of emotional and psychological well-being.
