Inner Peace Healing to open three meditation instructor courses in October, from aroma singing bowls to fragrance meditation

Inner Peace Healing will launch three new meditation instructor training courses from October through November. They are the Aroma Singing Bowl Meditation Instructor Course, the Pause Meditation Card Instructor Course, and the Medi Aroma + Fragrance Meditation Instructor Course. All three courses combine online classes with in-person training. The in-person sessions will be held at the Mindfulness Travel Healing Center, 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: fragrance, cards and sound. Each course also includes a standard program and an instructor manual, allowing graduates to use the material immediately in real-world settings. Detailed curricula, schedules and tuition fees vary by course.

Aroma Singing Bowl Meditation Instructor Course

The Aroma Singing Bowl Meditation Instructor Course is a hands-on program that teaches participants how to design and lead sensory meditation sessions combining fragrance, singing bowl sounds and breathing. It includes standard 50-minute and 80-minute programs, session scripts and an instructor manual, along with adaptations for adults, office workers, teenagers and seniors. The course is designed for immediate use in settings including businesses, schools, welfare organizations, and cultural and educational institutions.

Most aromatherapy training programs are relatively expensive.  This course is designed to apply aromatherapy directly to singing bowl meditation classes, so participants do not have to pay to study the two subjects separately. By integrating aromatherapy directly into singing bowl classes, the program offers an efficient way to apply the techniques in practice.

The course runs from Oct. 8 to 29, with four online classes held Thursdays from 8 to 10 p.m. and one in-person training session held Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuition is 500,000 won.

Pause Meditation Card Instructor Course

The Pause Meditation Card Instructor Course covers how to understand and use the four colors, eight mudras and 48 insight statements contained in a 48-card deck. Participants practice meditation techniques for noticing the breath, body and emotions, while also learning individual and group facilitation, questioning and listening, and the principles of safe conversation. Those who complete four weeks of theory classes and one day of practical training and pass written and practical examinations will receive a private qualification. After completing the course, participants can design five-, 30- and 60-minute programs tailored to their audiences. The course runs from Oct. 7 to 31. Online classes will be held from 8 to 10 p.m. on Wednesdays, Oct. 7, 14, 21 and 28. In-person training will take place Saturday, Oct. 30, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuition is 400,000 won.

Medi Aroma + Fragrance Meditation Instructor Course

The Medi Aroma + Fragrance Meditation Instructor Course is an integrated program linking aromatherapy with mindfulness meditation. Participants learn the basics of aromatherapy and practice blending essential oils, then learn how to design and lead fragrance meditation sessions that connect scent with breathing. Graduates receive both a Level 2 Medi Aroma private qualification certificate and a Fragrance Meditation Instructor Certificate of Completion. The course runs from Oct. 20 to Nov. 14, with four online classes on Tuesdays from 8 to 10 p.m. and two in-person training sessions from 1 to 5 p.m. Tuition is 500,000 won.
