At the Australian Centre for Meditation and Mindfulness (ACMM), we believe in supporting our community of students and graduates as they pursue their passion for meditation teaching. We’re incredibly proud to highlight the recent accomplishments of two of our Senior Mentors, Tim James and Jen Hill, whose work and leadership continue to inspire us all.
Tim James Joins the Council of Meditation Australia
We’re excited to announce that Tim James, a Senior Mentor at ACMM, has joined the Council of Meditation Australia (MA). Tim’s appointment reflects his dedication to the field and his significant contributions as a teacher, mentor, and leader.
Tim began his meditation teaching journey over six years ago after a career in engineering and not-for-profit work. He founded Meditation Life and joined ACMM, where he completed his Diploma and later authored key electives like Corporate Meditation and Mindfulness and Deepening through Meditative Inquiry. Additionally, Tim facilitates the Business Lounge and Community Work Placement programs, helping students build their meditation and business skills with real life work experience.
His work includes corporate mindfulness workshops and guiding community meditations, demonstrating his commitment to sharing mindfulness with diverse audiences. Tim’s passion and dedication to the ACMM community make him an excellent addition to the MA Council. We know he will contribute significantly to their mission of elevating the standards of meditation teaching in Australia.
Jen Hill’s Workshop on Leveraging Technology for Meditation Teaching
We’re also thrilled to recognize Jen Hill, another valued ACMM Senior Mentor. Jen recently led a highly relevant and practical workshop for Meditation Australia’s Lift Off Series. Jen’s session, titled Balancing Peace and Pixels: Leveraging Technology in Meditation Teaching, aimed to empower teachers to use digital tools. It focused on helping meditation teachers embrace technology and improve their online teaching.
In this workshop, Jen shared her expertise on using platforms like Zoom, teaching aids like PowerPoint, and strategies for creating engaging and accessible online meditation classes. Her insights are especially relevant in a world where online connection has become a key component of sharing meditation practice.
A Community Committed to Growth and Excellence
ACMM’s deep connection with Meditation Australia is evident through our shared vision of professional and high-quality meditation teaching. We are honored that Lisa Forde, our Principal, serves as President of MA, guiding the organization with her dedication to professional development and support for teachers.
Tim and Jen’s recent contributions underscore the strength and impact of our ACMM community. As a registered training provider with Meditation Australia, we’re proud to see our mentors and graduates thriving and taking on leadership roles in the field.
