Practicum Pre-Req--8 Week MBSR Taken Locally

Greetings!

I’m interested in applying for the 9-Day Practicum in Petaluma, CA in February 2017. I completed the 8 Week MBSR Program locally (with an instructor who has trained with the UMASS CFM). However, I was told that the Oasis Teacher Training group at the CFM needs to approve of this 8 Week MBSR course before I can apply for the Practicum.

Who should I reach out to in order to have this course reviewed?

Kindly,
Claire

Hi Claire,

Thanks for your inquiry.

If the teacher was trained at the CFM and the course you took was an 8 week
MBSR class, which means it included an All-Day class and that the sessions
were about 2.5 hours long, it qualifies. Having taken such a course, most
folks just apply for the Practicum and the Oasis admin reviews their
eight-week course during the application process. That said, I have
forwarded your question to the Oasis team, to see if they have another
suggestion or instruction for you. They won’t be in the office til Monday,
of course.

Kind regards,
Eowyn
