Mindful Boston's 2017 Milestone: The Craftsman Teacher Training Badge 

As Mindful Boston becomes a trade school for meditation teachers, we are developing the definitions for certification in the different skill levels.
We are proud to announce that we have just awarded our first Craftsman Level badge to Julie Fraser during our summer retreat on Cape Cod.

Our annual Cape Cod retreat includes camping, campfires, and the beach.  
And of course, meditation! 
All members are invited to join us next year. (Yes, you!) Details will be included in the 2nd quarter newsletter. Stay tuned...

Interns & Volunteers

Each year, the summer interns bring energy to our organization.  And then, the longer term volunteers sustain our foundational projects over time.
2017 Interns:   Michelle coordinated our retreat and wrote job descriptions for future interns, Isabelle wrote a neuroscience blog for our website.  We wish them well as they return to school for the fall!
2017 Volunteers:  Theresa continues business development projects, especially updating the Business Plan, Gianna is doing research on our Toolbox program. 
If you are interested in volunteering, you could help with the Business Plan, or help with the research project.  Or, you could even create your own project.  
There is an application form at our website.
