Overview

There are many paths to one-ness. Literally thousands of schools and philosophies of meditation exist, each with a unique technique or way of helping to experience present-moment awareness. davidji celebrates them all, and this teacher training honors every tool, technology, and body of knowledge that can help you quiet the fluctuations of the mind and achieve deeper meaning, purpose, peace, and fulfillment in your life.

In this training, davidji combines different types of meditation, group discussions, energy work, chanting, dancing, lectures on the soul, teachings from the Vedas, and group interaction, which interweaves the physical, emotional, and spiritual components of meditation into a very personal journey, traveling from your most ego-based, individual Self to the most divine and cosmic aspects of your universal Self, all from the comfort of your home.

The Only ONLINE 285-Hour Meditation Training

The training begins in January 2023 with online lessons, a LIVE zoom class each week, and readings that flow into a weeklong in-residence online or in-person.

Study Ancient & Modern Philosophy

Connect with the greatest teachers of Vedanta, Buddhism, spirituality, emotional healing and mind-body wellness from ancient texts to modern day translations.

Graduate Followup Program

Your post-grad skills will be enriched through a final group webinar, ongoing support from davidji, and special access to Certified Teacher resources to help you launch your teaching practice.

Program

During your time leading up to the final week, you will experience a one-on-one video call with davidji, regular live video webinars in which you will interact with your fellow teachers in training, have continuous interaction with davidji, as well as new video and audio teachings each week.

The final week of your training concludes with an intensive five-days in-residence with davidji and your fellow teachers-in-training. Together with davidji, your magnificent posse will individually and collectively peel away layers, absorb timeless wisdom, and awaken to your best versions.

FAQ

Do I need a certain level of experience before taking this course?
All you need for meditation teacher training is an open mind, an open heart, and the willingness to begin or deepen your meditation practice.

Where does the training take place?
The first 15 weeks of the training will take place on davidji’s signature Teacher’s Dashboard at davidjimeditationacademy.com with regular classes hosted on Zoom. The final in-residence week will take place via Zoom or in-person in Carlsbad, CA – depending on your chosen path.

The in-person track certification week is held at the Meditation Nest, a private retreat just steps from the sand, overlooking the Pacific Ocean in Carlsbad, California. We call this the “Sweetspot of the Universe.” It’s a 30-minute drive from the San Diego International Airport by taxi, car service or rental car, which you will need to arrange. You will receive detailed driving instructions and an address after you register.

How much is tuition, and what does it include?
Standard tuition is $4,975 for the in-person track and $4375 for the virtual track. We offer a flexible payment plan to help you plan your journey – we have 6 and 12 month payment plan options available. Tuition includes a course syllabus, required reading list and online webinar schedule. You will also have a one-on-one Zoom call session with davidji and regular sessions with your class. When you’ve completed the training and your in-residence, you will be given your certified davidji Meditation Teacher Training Certificate and follow up information about how to stay connected. Books are not included in the cost of tuition.

Are there exams?
All Teachers in Training must submit a term paper prior to our in-residence certification week. Details and instructions for this will be discussed during the training. Also, there are optional “test your knowledge” exams throughout the process, but they are not required to graduate.

Will there be guest teachers or other activities scheduled?
Together we will practice several different styles of yoga and meditation every morning and evening. There will also be guest speakers and instructors throughout the process.

Are you registered with Yoga Alliance?
YES! We are registered with Yoga Alliance and offer Continuing Education Units to practitioners who are 200 or 500 hour RYT. You can receive 285 hours of Continuing Education Units from this Masters of Wisdom & Meditation Teacher Training.

Will I have designated free time during in-residence?
The schedule is pretty full during in-residence week (virtual and in-person), so it is recommended that you free your time to focus solely on the training during that week, but you will have time for reflection, personal journaling and meals.

How many people are enrolled in each training?
To allow for the most personal connection among students and davidji during the months leading up to our week together, we limit registration.

I want to register for the in-person track. How are you prepared to ensure my health and safety?
As always, the health, safety, and well-being of our guests is our top priority. We are closely monitoring the evolving situation regarding COVID-19, especially as it pertains to our live events. We understand that there are still some serious concerns about traveling and congregating in a post-COVID world. We are taking every possible step to ensure the highest degree of sanitation, health, and safety at all of our events. Above all else, our staff is committed to your well-being and following CDC guidelines for health and wellness. For more information on our COVID-19 Event Protocols, visit this link

We kindly request that all individuals planning to attend in-person events monitor themselves for symptoms. If you have symptoms, we ask that you administer a rapid covid test to ensure you are negative before travelling. We will also monitor event participants for symptoms, do temperature checks and administer rapid covid tests if needed. In the unlikely event of a positive result, the individual will not be able to enter the Meditation Nest and will receive a credit voucher for a future davidji event. If you are staying on site and test positive, you will need to find new accommodations for that evening. 

Where can I stay during the in person track certification week? Attendees are encouraged to stay either at the Meditation Nest or at one of the many hotels within easy walking distance to better immerse in the program, which begins at sunrise each day and ends well after sunset. Rooms in the Nest range from $250 per night for shared accommodations to $335 for private rooms, are sold on a first-come-first-serve basis, and sell out quickly. If you wish to stay on site, remaining rooms available will pop up during the registration process so you can choose and pay for your lodging at that time. Unfortunately, we are not able to offer a refund or credit for cancelled room bookings. You can book your room during the registration process. If you have questions, feel free to reach out to our Events Manager at nancy@davidji.com for information.

Many students also choose to stay at one of the hotels close to the Nest; three hotels in particular are within two blocks of the Meditation Nest. The Carlsbadinn.com is a nice hotel literally across the street; the beachterraceinn.com is on the beach and is also very nice; and oceanpalms.com is the most affordable and across the street from the Nest.

Payment Plans and Cancellation

Our goal is to help make the planning process for your training as seamless as possible. That’s why we have set up a convenient monthly payment plan option that you may choose during registration. You may cancel your registration within 7 days of the day you registered and receive a full refund, unless you have opted for a payment plan. Payments made through our payment plans are non-refundable at any time if you cancel.

All cancellations must be requested via email to nancy@davidji.com. Students who register within one month of the training start date are not eligible for a refund at any time if they choose to cancel. If you have to cancel after the grace period, don’t fret! After the seven day period, or if you have selected a payment plan, you will receive a credit voucher as long as the cancellation is more than one month prior to the training start. Teacher Training credit vouchers must be used within 18 months of your original registration date. If you cancel 30 days prior to the start of Teacher Training and prior to the eight-week mark of the active Training session, you may re-enroll in a future Teacher Training session within 18 months for a $1000 transfer fee. There are limited spots available for transfers within each Teacher Training session. Once those spots are filled you will be offered the option to transfer to the next available session. Note that we are not able to offer a refund or credit for room reservations.

To re-enroll, you will be required to complete all the required components of the Teacher Training certification, including attendance during the in-residence certification week, so you are current with the teachings and actively engaged with the group that you will attend the in-residence certification week with. This involvement includes monthly webinars, weekly lessons and a reading list. All changes/cancellations must be requested via email to nancy@davidji.com
