A complete method of training the resilience of mind, heart, and body that we need to sustain well-being, engagement and purpose in our interdependent world.

CBRT is an evidence-based modular training that teaches the science and skills people need to reduce stress, build resilience, and cultivate lives of well-being, engagement, and purpose in our interdependent world. It empowers people to develop a more resilient mind, heart, and body by combining skills taught separately in other trainings—mindfulness, compassion, imagery, and breath-work—into one, providing the most cost-effective way of educating participants in the full spectrum of mind/body research and contemplative skills.

 

NALANDA Institute

The program is in collaboration with New York based Nalanda Institute, a leader in the international market; with curricular content grounded in clinical research at Weil Cornell Medicine and Albert Einstein College of Medicine.

  • Module 1: Embracing Suffering with Body Mindfulness
  • Module 2: Stopping Reactive Habits with Mindful Sensitivity
  • Module 3: Breaking Free of Confusion with Open Awareness
  • Module 4: Mindful Insight: The Lifelong Path of Self-Healing
  • Module 5: Disarming Social Stress and Bias with Equal Empathy
  • Module 6: Healing Reactive Emotions and Beliefs with Self-Compassion
  • Module 7: Cultivating Caring Emotions with Prosocial Give and Take
  • Module 8: Embodying a Resilient Self and Life with Caring Imagery
  • Capstone Project:
    CBRT students will complete a capstone project where they independently teach a partial or full CBRT 
  • Certificate of Accomplishment:
    Students will be awarded a certificate of accomplishment once they successfully complete the program.

This course is ideal for individuals seeking to integrate resilience practice effectively into their work, by developing the science-based language and teaching skills to introduce mainstream groups to the full range of resilience practices.
Health workers of all disciples such as social workers, psychologists, nurses, mental health counselors, physicians, palliative care workers, art therapists as well as educators, school counselors and administrators, executive coaches, organizational consultants, human resource professionals, faith-based counselors and ministers, community workers and lay caregivers are all encouraged to join.

The CBRT curriculum teaches the full spectrum of research-based insights and time-tested self-regulation skills. It consists of eight modules that can be taught in compressed or extended formats. 

CBRT is supported by training websites with research articles and study aids including a student manual, a teacher manual, and instructional videos (for
the Teacher Training), and a full series of guided meditation files to prompt homework and fieldwork.
