Inner Peace Healing opens three meditation instructor courses in October, from aroma singing bowls to scent meditation

Inner Peace Healing will launch three new meditation instructor training courses between October and November. They are the Aroma Singing Bowl Meditation Instructor Course, the Pause Meditation Card Instructor Course, and the Medi Aroma + Scent Meditation Instructor Course. All three combine online classes with in-person practice. The in-person sessions will be held at the Mindfulness Travel Healing Centre, a five-minute walk from Yaksu Station in Seoul.

What the three courses have in common

All three courses teach participants how to lead meditation using different senses: scent, cards and sound. Each course also includes a standard programme and instructor manual, enabling graduates to use what they have learnt immediately in practical settings. Detailed curricula, schedules and fees vary by course.

Aroma Singing Bowl Meditation Instructor Course

The Aroma Singing Bowl Meditation Instructor Course is a practical programme that teaches participants how to design and lead sensory meditation combining scent, singing bowl sounds and breathing. It includes standard 50-minute and 80-minute programmes, session scripts and an instructor manual, as well as ways to adapt the sessions for adults, office workers, young people and older adults. The course is designed for immediate use in settings including businesses, schools, welfare organisations, and cultural and educational institutions.

Most aromatherapy courses are relatively expensive.  This course is designed to apply aromatherapy directly to singing bowl meditation classes, so participants do not have to pay the high cost of studying the two subjects separately. It enables them to combine aromatherapy with singing bowl classes and use the techniques in practice, making it an efficient course.

The course runs from 8 to 29 October, with four online classes from 8pm to 10pm every Thursday and one in-person practical session from 10am to 6pm on Saturday. The fee is 500,000 won.

Pause Meditation Card Instructor Course

The Pause Meditation Card Instructor Course covers how to understand and use the four colours, eight mudras and 48 insight statements contained in the 48-card deck. Participants practise meditation techniques for noticing the breath, body and emotions, while also learning how to lead individual and group sessions, ask questions and listen, and apply the principles of safe dialogue. After four weeks of theory classes and one day of practical training, participants who pass the written and practical assessments will receive a private qualification. On completion, they will be able to design five-, 30- and 60-minute programmes tailored to their audience. The course runs from 7 to 31 October. Online classes will take place from 8pm to 10pm on Wednesdays 7, 14, 21 and 28 October, followed by an in-person practical session from 10am to 5pm on Saturday 30 October. The fee is 400,000 won.

Medi Aroma + Scent Meditation Instructor Course

The Medi Aroma + Scent Meditation Instructor Course is an integrated programme linking aromatherapy with mindfulness meditation. Participants learn the fundamentals of aromatherapy and practise blending essential oils, then learn how to design and lead scent meditation sessions that connect scent with breathing. Graduates receive both a Medi Aroma Level 2 private qualification and a Scent Meditation Instructor certificate. The course runs from 20 October to 14 November, with four online Tuesday classes from 8pm to 10pm and two in-person practical sessions from 1pm to 5pm. The fee is 500,000 won.
