The Australian Institute of Applied Mindfulness offers seminars, courses and retreats which teach traditional mindfulness and applied mindfulness in contemporary life. These trainings focus on the importance of cultivating a mindful practice, compassion and wisdom. Mindfulness is relevant to all aspects of daily life, and we believe these things are not only suitable, but important, for everyone, and no more so than people in positions of influence, particularly health professionals, educators, and people in leadership. By developing a mindful practice, whatever your job role, you will achieve new levels of self-awareness, flexibility and stability of mind, and non-reactivness to clarify and achieve your goals, and help others to do the same. Our training courses teach you to be present and achieve a state of flow where your best creativity and clearest decision making can occur.

The International Trainer of Applied Mindfulness Certification is our core program, devoted to comprehensive mindfulness training, and professional certification in Applied Mindfulness, and we offer a range of other programs to meet all levels of training needs.

Australian Institute of Applied Mindfulness - Our History
The Australian Institute of Applied Mindfulness was launched in 2014 in response to discussions with leading mindfulness teachers and researchers across the globe about how to meet the needs of people in positions of influence, who want to be mindful and inspired in their life and work. The culmination of years of training, and teaching at meditation centres and the Mindfulness Centre led to the range of mindfulness courses and retreats, and the International Trainer of Applied Mindfulness Certification.

Over the last decade Liana and colleagues have developed and delivered mindfulness training for clinicians, people in education and leaders, with modules in MBCT, Leadership, Relationships, Parenting, Education and Buddhism, plus the more advanced retreats. Our team continues to expand, and we are teaching applied mindfulness in schools, really valuing the opportunity to make a difference early in our young people's lives. We believe that feeling depressed, overwhelmed or panicked does not co-exist with feeling inspired - they are mutually exclusive. We aim to nurture a sense of inspiration in young people's lives so that they recognise and focus on what matters most to them, and develop the tools they needs to navigate the challenges along the path.
