Welcome to the 2021 Hamsa Meditation Teacher Training Homepage
My fervent hope is that this program opens portals to help you discover the Real You! The YOU...
- that shines authentic, unapologetic, and wise,
- there is only one of,
- only you can be,
- that is your best friend and true teacher.
So much love,
Caren
Special Opening Meditation

Hello and Welcome!
This is your private page for the Hamsa Meditation Teacher Training. It is where we will post class recordings, handouts, assignments etc... You will be spending a lot of time here so we encourage you to bookmark the page—if you don't know how to do that, contact Darcey and she will happily give you a little tutorial.
Several of you have asked what you need to do to be ready to begin your training. The answer is:
- Begin ordering the books on your Reading List. See pdf below
- Try to have at least one of the books with you for our first class on Sunday March 14.
- Create your method for taking notes. You will want to take lots of notes. For some of you it may be a notebook you write in, for others it may be a file on your laptop or ipad.
- Find a personal journal that appeals to you. As mentioned above, for some of you it will be a beautiful book you write in while for others it will be a file on your phone or computer. Either way, find a way to keep it special and easy to use.
