Yes. Dr. Stéphane Treyvaud offers mindfulness education, mindsight training, personal guidance, and professional learning for participants in Canada, Switzerland, and internationally. The Mindfulness Centre’s virtual format makes many programs accessible beyond a single geographic location.
Dr. Treyvaud's teaching unfolds as a step-by-step progression — from ordinary waking consciousness toward the expanded modes of awareness that lie dormant within us as potential. The techniques taught follow the same arc, moving from the simple to the complex as students gain proficiency in meditation.
Beginners begin by exploring ordinary waking consciousness in depth, through the foundational mindfulness meditation techniques taught in the MBSR-X program. Those who have completed it — or who already carry meditation experience — move on to the Mindsight Intensive, where advanced techniques make it possible to recognize and embrace the cracks in ordinary waking consciousness, opening access to four expanded, normally hidden awareness potentials that markedly strengthen resilience and diminish suffering.
