WHAT IS M B S R?
Join Trina and a group of sincere practitioners in this enriching journey walking the path of mindfulness. In this journey, you will have the opportunity to deepen your understanding of essential Buddhist teachings and transformative practices adapted for modern times. Experience the richness of spiritual friendship and the presence of an experienced guide. This program is designed to provide dedicated practitioners with personalized, detailed support and an enriched learning environment, guided by the profound wisdom of Buddhism from a lifelong Buddhist practitioner and a dedicated teacher who have guided hundreds of students towards living a life mindfully.
The Intention of the Program
The core intention of the group mentoring program is to foster spiritual growth, deepening practice, inner transformation, and greater awareness grounded in the principles of the Buddhist teachings, mindfulness, meditation, and selected methodologies and practices.
Objectives
Spiritual Deepening: Embark on an enlivening journey into Buddhism. Gain a deep understanding of Buddhist thoughts, see the clear map of the Noble Eightfold Path, learn Buddhist Psychology and essential teachings that are at the core of what the Buddha taught. You will be invited to engage deeply with what arises within you and your life that reveals the teachings through direct experience and contemplation. Become well-versed with the foundational principles to support the cultivation of the inner qualities of the heart and mind directly leading to personal and collective liberation.
Personalized Support: Receive personalized guidance and concrete practices tailored to the unique dimensions of your inner landscape. Gain skillful perspectives and explore techniques to process internal impediments and formations stemming from limiting beliefs and fundamental vulnerabilities, thereby facilitating a return to wholeness, healing and well-being.
Collaborative Learning & Transformation: Benefit from wholesome, diverse perspectives for the ground of insights to arise through group reflections, peer interaction and Q&A sessions. Experience the potency of individual and collective awakening and healing within a dedicated, like-minded community of spiritual friends—a constant, powerful reminder that you are deeply supported and you’re not alone on the journey.
Confidential Space: Step into a warm, gentle, and fully confidential container where you can engage in open dialogue, true vulnerability, and mutual support, knowing your deepest work is held with reverence and trust. This container is intimate, and exclusive to only dedicated practitioners who already have practiced in Wake Up Together or in other spaces with Trina to ensure a good fit.

COURSE TEACHER
Hi! I’m Trina.
I am so happy that you are here! I’m eager to share with you the tools that have worked for me and hundreds of my students who practice mindfulness. I’ve taught mindfulness workshops, classes and retreats for the past 10 years in a variety of settings, from public sectors in prison and educational institutions, to spiritual and non-profit centers. I would love to show you how to deepen your capacity of awareness to take on all the challenges of day to day life with a greater sense of stability and ease, and perhaps, maybe even with joy.
I look forward to the possibility of working with you!
