Rebecca Crane PhD directs the Centre for Mindfulness Research and Practice at Bangor University and has played a leading role in developing its training and research programme since it was founded in 2001. She teaches and trains internationally in both Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR). Her research and publications focus on how the evidence on mindfulness-based interventions can be implemented with integrity into practice settings. She has written Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy Distinctive Features 2017, co-authored Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy with People at Risk of Suicide, 2017 and is a Principle Fellow with the Higher Education Academy. 

I founded the first Master's programme in the field of mindfulness at Bangor University. It has gone from strength to strength since we started out in 2003. Students can choose the route that most suits their interests - a route leading to certification in MBCT or MBSR; a route leading to an empirical thesis; and options to take your Masters in 3 years or up to five years. 

I also train internationally in MBCT and MBSR. And offer training in the use of our competence framework - the MBI:TAC. 

My research investigates the practical implications of the evidence for mindfulness-based interventions – how do we support implementation in main stream settings in ways that preserve the integrity and effectiveness of the approach whilst also adapting to fit the context? Specifically my research investigates the process of MBCT implementation in the UK health service; ways of assessing mindfulness-based teaching competence; the links between training level, teaching competence and participant outcome; and adaptations of existing models of delivery.

I am keen to explore the role that mindfulness training can play in wider systemic transformation to reverse climate breakdown and enable flourishing for humans and the natural systems we are part of,  and aim to integrate social justice frameworks into the way I approach teaching and research. 

Dr Rebecca Crane is a member of the Clinical, Health, & Behavioural Psychology research group.

• Guided day of mindfulness practice
  A day of guided mindfulness practice
  Guided by Nolitha Tsengiwe, Rebecca Crane and Mark Williams
  In the midst of the fullness of the conference, we will take a day to step into deeper connection with the immediacy of experience. During the day you will be guided in the various forms of mindfulness practice that are part of mindfulness-based programs, interspersed with some space for first person and collective inquiry into what is being known in experience. To allow space for deeper listening, we will give over some of the time to practising together in silence during both the formal and informal parts of the day. Coming into deeper contact with experience in these ways is tender, and at times is challenging. We need support to do this work - the solidarity and kindness of a community of colleagues and friends practising alongside us, along with the guidance from the teachers will offer the holding space within which to drop into our mindfulness practice: an engagement that is simultaneously deeply personal and individual, and deeply social and collective.

• Making the Path by Walking it: Implementing mindfulness in the mainstream, Keynote, Israel
  Mindfulness training is becoming increasingly accessible to everyday people in the mainstream. The integration between contemplative practices and contemporary science has the potential to radically transform perspectives and relieve suffering for individuals and communities. We can begin to imagine the possibility that on a societal level embedding mindfulness practice into everyday life could become recognised and promoted as a pragmatic way to support wellbeing - in similar ways to how physical exercise is perceived. This emerging interest and engagement with contemplative practices in mainstream culture and institutions holds great promise. The promise that wisdom and compassion become more readily accessible to us – both individually and collectively.
  There are though particular sensitivities related to bringing contemplative practices into the mainstream. How do we meet the implementation challenge of enabling the accessibility whilst supporting the integrity of the approach? How do we ensure that teachers are well prepared to guide others in mindfulness? What ethical issues need consideration when bringing practices that emerged in religious contexts into the secular mainstream? How does this emerging field skilfully navigate the tensions inherent in mainstreaming an approach that involves a paradigm shift to mainstream frameworks for understanding human experience? How do we do the work of ‘mainstreaming’ language and approach whilst also retaining the essential and unique elements of the foundations on which mindfulness-based programmes rest? How do we invite systemic transformation rather than ‘quick fixes’?
  The talk will review empirical and practice based work in these areas in relation to developments that support integrity and ethical understanding, the work of training teachers, of assessing teacher competence, and of implementing mindfulness-based programmes, and will consider challenges and questions for the field in the future.

• Keeping the Inquiry Alive investing in our learning as a mindfulness-based teacher
  Invited keynote, Annual Conference, Berlin
  Developing skills in a complex craft such as teaching mindfulness-based programs is a lifelong endeavour. If we are able to create the conditions in our daily lives for this, it becomes an inspiring and meaningful ongoing engagement. How do we keep our learning and inspiration alive? How do we stay close to our core intentions and motivations for becoming a mindfulness-based teacher? What inner and outer conditions in our lives are needed to enable us to sustain the process? What are the core skills, knowledge and qualities we are investing in developing? How does this personal maturation influence the wider maturation of this young field? In this talk I will share current field and personal perspectives on these important themes.

• The Skills of the Mindfulness-Based Practitioner
  This workshop will build on the previous talk by enabling us to individually and collectively inquire into our development as mindfulness-based practitioners. We will use the Mindfulness-Based Interventions: Teaching Assessment Criteria (MBI:TAC) as a map to investigate the range of competencies involved in the direct work of teaching. We will deepen our familiarity with these through personal, and then small group reflection on how we relate to the different aspects of the teaching process. We will then broaden out to acknowledge the range of skills required around the teaching to enable this work to happen - public speaking, leading, managing, administering, marketing and more. Through reflective process, dyad and small group work we will aim to catalyse a personal and collective inquiry into the multi-faceted work of being a mindfulness-based practitioner.
