Program Overview

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.

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.

What the Program Covers

This program certifies practitioners to deliver the training in their respective workplace and community settings. 

CBRT is comprised of eight, evidence-based modules that teaches the science and skills people need to reduce stress, build resilience, and cultivate well-being and engagement:

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:

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.
