Following the recent update of BAMBA’s Supervision Guidelines, this event offers practical support for members seeking to meet the formal Professional Standards of ‘reflective teaching support’ and in doing so access peer discussion spaces.
In response to member feedback, we are hosting this dedicated peer-based event to help mindfulness teachers connect with one another, build supportive networks, and make effective use of peer discussions and spaces as part of a balanced approach to personal development and professional standards.
As always, we are committed to listening and responding to what members tell us they need to support their professional practice.
Why peer supervision?
As part of BAMBA’s Professional Standards, regular supervision is an important element of mindfulness teaching practice and is undertaken on a monthly basis while actively teaching. At the same time, we recognise the realities of teaching practice for some members:
-
One‑to‑one reflective teaching support | supervision can be financially or practically challenging to maintain every month
-
Not all teaching contexts require monthly one‑to‑one reflective teaching support | supervision
-
Some teachers offer voluntary, low‑cost, or drop‑in sessions
Peer-based reflective teaching support offers a valuable and appropriate way to meet your needs in these contexts, when used clearly and ethically alongside formal reflective teaching support.
In line with BAMBA guidance, peer-based reflective teaching and supervision support can count for up to 50% of your overall supervision, making it a meaningful and legitimate part of your annual supervision mix.
