Melbourne Meditation Centre

I enjoyed the mix of theory and practice in the Beginners Meditation course. Being able to apply the meditation techniques we had learnt about made it really easy to understand and remember them. The weekly follow-up notes for each class were a great way to reinforce our learning and will be very handy to keep for future reference. Matt created a relaxed, friendly and safe atmosphere which encouraged us to ask questions and seek clarification when needed. I found this course to be a very valuable experience which has helped to deepen and broaden my understanding of meditation. Thank you!

I completed the Teacher Training Course with Matt and couldn't recommend it more highly. He's a great teacher and a lovely person. I really enjoyed the face to face content and the course work itself was interesting and enlightening! If you want somewhere to learn how to meditate, this is the place to go.

I’ve completed Matt’s beginners course, teacher training, and one of his mini retreats — and I have no words to express my appreciation and gratitude. It’s truly the best course I’ve ever taken! What makes it so special is that it’s not just an online experience — you learn in a real room, with real people, and that makes the process so much richer and deeper. I’ve been meditating for years, and Matt introduced me to a new, refreshing perspective on meditation that I absolutely loved. After completing the teacher training, I now feel confident to continue my journey as a meditation teacher — sharing the skills and wisdom of this beautiful practice with others. 🌿✨

I recently completed the Introduction to Meditation course with Matt, and it was an exceptional experience. The content was clear, accessible, and beautifully structured, making the practice of meditation feel both approachable and meaningful. Each session built on the last in a way that felt supportive and well-paced, allowing me to deepen my understanding without feeling overwhelmed. Matt, the facilitator, provided excellent guidance, blending practical instruction with helpful explanations of the theory behind meditation. I especially appreciated the calm, grounded teaching style and the encouragement to explore what worked best for each participant. The meditations themselves were easy to follow and surprisingly impactful, whether for a beginner or in my case, for someone who has had years of experience. Overall, the course has reinvigorated my practice and given me a new lens and strong foundation to continue my meditation journey with confidence. I highly recommend it to anyone curious about meditation, whether completely new or returning after a break.

I completed Melbourne Meditation Centre's Teacher Training Retreat in April 2024, and it was a truly transformative experience. The course was expansive and practical, immersing us in various ideas and philosophies without claiming that one approach is superior to another. This open-mindedness made the learning process incredibly enriching. Matt carefully planned out the timetable on retreat. No day felt like it was too much information to take in, yet each day was SO full of learnings. Our group often wanted to extend the classes because we were so engaged with the content Matt was sharing. It was super interactive and I felt like Matt valued our thoughts and opinions, rather than a typical teacher/student classroom dynamic. The coursework was also thoughtfully designed, with a clear purpose for every component. I didn't feel as though any task was merely a tick-a-box exercise. We had access to a wide range of resources, including books, articles, videos, and audio materials, all of which have left me feeling well-equipped to share the practice of meditation and continue on my journey of learning and growing. Throughout the training, I felt supported yet challenged to give things a go and dive right in. This balance was crucial in building my confidence and skills. Since completing the training, I've landed my first teaching role! Matt has been incredibly supportive and his guidance and care have been so appreciated. I am truly grateful for the experience and highly recommend it to anyone looking to deepen or rejuvenate their meditation practice, or become a meditation teacher. Thank you, Matt.
