Mindfulness Teachers
Association Ireland

The MTAI has drawn up guidelines for good practice and upholds these, is committed to the ethical foundations underpinning the teaching of Mindfulness-Based Interventions (MBIs), and supports continuous professional development for mindfulness teachers. The MTAI is a member of the European Association of Mindfulness Based Approaches (EAMBA).

The MTAI is the professional body representing qualified teachers of MBIs in Ireland.

We have been meeting and supporting mindfulness teachers for the last decade and were formally established as an organization in 2018. We are an independent non-profit organization run by mindfulness teachers who graduated from a range of different mindfulness teaching Institutions. Our standards for accreditation are designed to be fair and inclusive and to ensure an appropriate level of capacity for the mindfulness teacher. Our teachers introduce mindfulness in many settings such as businesses, schools, prisons, hospitals, community centres and not-profit organisations.

We support teacher development and professional and personal growth through supervision, ongoing training, connection with colleagues, attendance on retreats and so on.
