YOU CAN ONLY TEACH WHO YOU ARE
The fruits of Mindfulness comes from within, from conscious presence and awareness . So it’s important that you regularly practice meditation and reflect on how your thoughts and feelings influence your behaviour. Mindfulness is about examining your automatic reactions to stress, fatigue, uncertainty, and other things that cause you discomfort, and replacing them with conscious, more beneficial responses. Children and adults will feel and know that what you do and say, is also who you are. You can only teach who you are!
WHY A TRAINING COURSE AT THE AMT?
The Method Eline Snel is universal, practical, complete, and compassionate, and so are the AMT’s training courses, developed by Eline for children, adolescents, and professionals who work with them. This is apparent in everything we do.
The roots of the training and the Method Eline Snel lie in Eline’s 30 years of experience as a therapist and Mindfulness and compassion trainer, brought to life with the age-old wisdom of the Vipassana meditation tradition. Our courses have a worldwide reputation for being personal, wise, clear, accessible, and friendly.

“Never in my life have I experienced such a training course, though I’ve attended many as a psychologist. The combination of depth, wisdom, humour, lesson quality, and the way in which they were treated during the training, has made a deep impression. It’s touched me permanently from within.”
