Find a Pathways to Mindfulness Facilitator

Find a PTM Facilitator

All facilitators are independent practitioners. They set their own fees and run their own practices, giving you the freedom to choose someone whose style and approach resonate with you. Any arrangements are made directly with the facilitator.

Finding a Facilitator

The idea of ‘selecting’ a facilitator is that you can choose someone with whom you feel you would be compatible. To help guide you, each facilitator has provided a summary of their usual client demographic, but are by no means limited to these demographics. Pathways to Mindfulness is an intimate experience, so connecting with someone you feel comfortable with is important.

You can search for facilitators in two ways:

PTM Facilitators

Those currently delivering the PTM program with the official workbook and resources. Please note: if you intend on becoming a PTM Facilitator you will need to participate in the full 25 week official program.

PTM Affiliates

Trained facilitators who are qualified to use the program but are not presently offering it with the PTM workbook.

This gives you the flexibility to find the right facilitator for your needs while knowing that each person listed has been trained in the PTM approach.

Our Purpose & Invitation

Why We’re Here

The Centre exists to create a pathway for authentic personal transformation.

Because suffering is part of being human, and without awareness it is often avoided or numbed.
Because meaningful change cannot come from quick fixes, but through a commitment to presence.
Because when individuals live with greater awareness, their relationships and communities are enriched.
Because every person deserves the opportunity to live with more clarity, fulfilment and joy.

Are You Ready?

If this vision resonates with you...

If you feel called to support others not through authority, but through your own lived experience…
If you are seeking meaningful work—sometimes challenging, always rewarding…
If you believe that enhanced awareness and living mindfully can transform lives…

…then becoming a PTM Facilitator may be one of the most fulfilling steps you ever take.
