A conversation with Rebecca Crane. This episode's guest is Rebecca
Crane, a teacher passionate about mindfulness teacher
competencies—particularly "who" we need to become in order to offer
mindfulness to others. In the episode, David and Rebecca delve into
the questions: What makes a mindfulness program a mindfulness
program? Where does trauma fit into all this? And where is the
field going? Rebecca Crane PhD directs the Centre for Mindfulness
