Joyce Curnan
Joyce completed a 2-year teacher training course in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction in 2009 at Hogeschool Utrecht and is a category 1 MBSR teacher registered with the Dutch MBSR teachers’ association (VMBN). Joyce started meditation in her teens with varying levels of "success". It took her many years of trying different approaches to discover more depth. In the past 15 years it has become a very large part of her life as a way of navigating life through meditative awareness.
Since finishing the teachers training, she's offered MBSR in clinical settings and for the public both in-person and online plus Mindfulness Meditation courses in businesses and schools. She is also a mindfulness-teacher trainer and mentor for the Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program based in the US (developed by Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield). She continues to practice, study, assist and organize silent retreats and supplementary trainings for some of the most respected meditation teachers from around the world. In 2021 she was recognized as an Insight Dialogue teacher (Insight Dialogue is a relational practice rooted in the Vipassana tradition).
