The Meditation Specialist™ Certification is a complete course in the theory, science, and practice of meditation therapy with a focus on the use of meditation as a true healing science that can be applied in a wide variety of health conditions. The program's mission is to guide the transformation of health care by creating, educating, and supporting professionals, and to provide the concepts of meditation, as well as the know-how behind it.

This training program prepares students to work with specific populations, such as cancer, pain, heart disease, and anxiety and depressive disorders. It is intended to prepare today's professionals to define the entire field of meditation specialization as it evolves into a universally recognized profession. Graduates will gain the skills, tools, and framework for incorporating meditation into their medical practice or for developing a private meditation therapy practice.

The certification program consists of two retreats that immerse participants fully to gain the total meditative experience. The retreats are designed to allow participants to progress from introductory to advanced teaching concepts in core content areas. Upon successful completion of written and practicum testing, certification is provided by the Center for Meditation Science. Nursing Spectrum Continuing Education provides continuing education contact hours at the conclusion of each clinic. The Meditation Specialist™ Certification Program is an ANCC-accredited Nursing Skills Competency Program.

Each retreat is six days in length. Attendance at BOTH retreats is required to become certified as a Meditation Specialist™. Retreat one is a prerequisite to retreat two.

Retreat 1: Build Your Foundation: How to Heal, Nourish, and Transform Your Life
Retreat 2: Expand Your Practice: Teaching Tools for Meditation (tentatively scheduled for 2/20-25/2010)
