The Calm Monkey, a leading provider of secular and workplace-friendly mindfulness facilitator training, invites new participants to join its global community of certified facilitators. This evidence-based program is ideal for experienced mindfulness practitioners and mindfulness facilitators without credentials who feel called to guide others in cultivating calm, clarity and resilience.

Created by Wendy Quan, a pioneer in workplace mindfulness, The Calm Monkey offers a self-paced, six-month training program for individuals seeking to facilitate mindfulness practices in various settings. Since launching the first workplace mindfulness facilitator training program in 2014, Quan has trained over 450 facilitators worldwide and has worked with organizations including Google, the U.S. National Park Service, the University of Rochester, and the Greater Good Science Center. Her work blends corporate experience with a passion for mindfulness, which she discovered following a cancer diagnosis in 2010.

The Calm Monkey’s curriculum is designed to be trauma-informed, practical and accessible to a wide range of participants—from professionals and wellness practitioners to retirees and volunteers. Graduates receive certification, tools to integrate mindfulness into their communities and workplaces, and access to a global network of peers.
