Overall, the course provided a wonderful experience and offered a satisfactory foundation for understanding how to lead a mindfulness program. I greatly appreciate the instructors' efforts in creating an organic and supportive atmosphere, which effectively demonstrated how to facilitate a group session. The location was fantastic and contributed to the experience. However, the consistent interruptions from external noise, caused by people working in the garden, occasionally disrupted the learning process.

It took me a while to find the right course for teaching mindfulness and this one looked like it had all the elements I was looking for. It met and exceeded my expectations with a good balance of experiential and theoretical teaching. We were fortunate to have an excellent teacher and a varied group which resulted in some insightful discussions. A thoroughly enjoyable week which left me highly motivated to incorporate what I have learned into my existing practice.

This was an excellent course managed by the very experienced, very incisive and wise Aston Colley. Highly recommended!

I thought the attention to detail was thorough. It was set at a great pace and certainly provided as much teaching as practicing too. I though Aston was excellent teacher

A real privilege and pleasure to attend this course. 5 days of practicing mindfulness meditation can seem daunting but the gentle nature of the facilitators and the great surroundings really helped build a safe community of individuals from across the globe who made the whole experience one of relaxed curious enquiry. A great way to learn mindfulness. And great value for money, too.

I don't think its always possible to sum an experience up in words, however what I would say is if you are genuinely interested in practicing mindfulness and facilitating other peoples journey on the way, then this is the course for you.
The university gardens were the perfect setting for us to practice our skills, and our tutors were not overbearing, nor instructing our practice. They imparted knowledge and allowed us to practice our newly acquired skills in ways that were congruent and fitting to our own selves. That is what a true mindfulness practitioner is able to do, and that is most certainly what I experienced.

Had a life changing experience and an incredible five days in Oxford. Aston is simply exceptional and led us through a wonderful journey of self enquiry and discovery. The course is extremely detailed while still leaving plenty of space for personal experience and discussion. I would definitely recommend it to anyone wanting to deepen their personal knowledge of mindfulness and/or to it teach in a business environment.

Aston and Jenny are very knowledgable and passionate mindfulness trainers. I always felt safe to view my ideas and felt that they made themselves available to speak to in the breaks and after at the end of the day. Their teaching approach inspired me and I learnt a from their wisdom.
The resources are very well organised and I felt I was given enough details to confidently continue my own practice as a mindfulness teacher. The books that were recommended are also excellent. We did a lot of meditations, which helped me understand how they are guided successfully and how they feel.
Overall, a would highly recommend this course to anyone who is has a real interest in mindfulness teacher training!

Very transformative five days. Aston is an excellent facilitator and very good listener an exceptional guide. The program gives a very concrete insights and, at the same time, the opportunity to create something very personal. A beautiful experience where you can combine practicality and emotional development at the same time.

I took the mindfulness now Oxford course led by Aston Colley. It was truly an amazing journey. I can't elaborate all my feelings and lessons but I have to say I enjoyed the whole session and it really helped a lot more than I expected. Thanks to classmates and especially Aston. So authentic and gentle leadership!

A wonderful mix of people from around the world and U.K. came together for a truly insightful 5 days of mindfulness training. Astons approach was engaging, calming, and his knowledge and experience was welcomed by a wide range of professionals on the course, from artists, therapists, leadership coaches, PhD students and business owners. Whether new to meditation and mindfulness or well practiced you’ll find benefit in this course for yourself and for helping your clients. Beautiful backdrop of Oxford, it’s gardens and buildings were the icing on the cake.

This was a highly educational, effective and enjoyable course. Exactly what I was looking for. The content is detailed but taught in an accessible way, there is plenty of time for group discussion, and there is space for reflection. It has also helped improve my personal mindfulness practise. Highly recommended.

Very good value for money. And set in beautiful quiet surrounds of St. John’s College gardens. Access to student cafeteria with healthy options at a big discount. Recommend byo flask of tea, water bottle and healthy sustenance snacks to maintain alertness. It’s a great week!

Learning through experience and opening one’s eyes to endless possibilities in life , are the first thoughts that come to mind in relation to Mindfulness Now training. All mindfulness attitudes were embodied and transmitted to the students by Aston, our teacher who helped us through this journey. This training may help therapists and psychologists to use the Mindfulness protocol in a pure, contained and effective way with their clients. Grateful for being given access to the various resources one can use in clinical work. Thank you Aston!

Excellent and thoughtful training. A lot of valuable material covered in just 5 days. Aston was embodying the mindfulness attitudes creating a rich experiential learning environment. Reconnected me with the joy of mindfulness as a clinician.

I chose this course because unlike other mindfulness teacher training courses it didn't require you to jump through hoops before 'proving' your eligibility. The pace was just right, the audio-visual and written study resources were very helpful and the course was well structured. All of the tutors were very experienced, allowing time for reflection, questions and feedback. The main tutor Aston was very skilled in facilitating a supportive learning environment for the whole group. I have learned so much from this course. I am also pleased that there are opportunities for ongoing support via the weekly face book group as well as CPD and supervision. Also to note is that this course is really good value too! I would definitely recommend this course to anyone else who is considering training to be a mindfulness teacher.

Truly enlightening. So glad I chose this course to build upon my Buddhist teaching. I attended online weekend courses and any reservations regarding this platform were quickly alaid. For me the time between weekend was so valuable for me to deepen my practice and follow the homework plan. Great course content, resources and Aston Jennie and Irena delivered superb content. Great group with such varied experience. Looking forward to the next few months preparing for my exam/case study. Thoroughly recommend this course.

I found this course to be very helpful, informative and well led. The mix of lecture, practice and small group interaction was balanced. The fellow participants were a lovely global blend of experience and warmth. This is a great course for those looking to deepen their own practice or for learning how to share this gift with others.

I went on this week not knowing fully what expect. The course was outstanding. The teaching methods and people involved provided an atmosphere that was warm, confidence-building and enlightening.
