A Proven & Comprehensive
Certification

WITH JUSTIN MICHAEL WILLIAMS

About the training

Become a Certified Transformational Leader with Justin Michael Williams. This immersive Teacher Training Certification began in 2022 and has since certified over 150 teachers in 10 countries! It will give you the tools, practices, and confidence to transform your own life—and help others do the same. Whether you bring these teachings to your family, your classroom, your community, or the global stage, you’ll learn how to use meditation and shadow work to create lasting change in a diverse and incredible community.

You’ll gain direct experience teaching Freedom Meditation, explore the “behind the scenes” of Justin’s proven methods, and receive guidance to grow a thriving, purpose-driven business doing what you love. Select participants will also have opportunities to step into coaching and leadership roles within Justin's greater community.

You will discover your unique signature style of teaching meditation.

Discover Your Unique Style

We don’t live our modern lives as monks do, nor do most of us have the ability to meditate in a silent temple all day long. In this program, you will learn how to practice and teach Freedom Meditation, which allows you to listen to and feel what is going on inside you, and trust your intuition, instead of trying to silence the noise.

The key = getting your thoughts to work for you instead of against you.

In this program, you will learn how to create your personal practice that will fit into your everyday life, and transition that into a signature approach to teaching.

You won't use meditation just to "feel good;" you will use meditation to become more of who you really are.

Then you share that unique approach with the world.

What others have said about Justin and his work.

Jon Kabat-Zinn

"The world needs all its flowers, and you are one. Whether for personal stress reduction, for a greater sense of belonging and being beautiful and okay as you are, or for catalyzing racial, social, and economic justice in our time, Stay Woke could be a godsend, a portal into embodied clarity, wakefulness, meaning, and action. Enter. Enter. Enter. And trust in your capacity to flower in your own way for the sake of the world.”

Yung Pueblo (Diego Perez)

"Williams has created something special... Out of the many voices in the world, this is the one we should listen to."

Patrisse Cullors

“I started meditating after recognizing the rage inside of me was eating away at my spirit. I wish I would have had Williams’s book as a young person navigating racism, sexism, and homophobia. Stay Woke is a beacon of light in a time of deep despair. We are reminded through Justin’s writing how necessary our healing actually is.”

Dyllón Burnside

"Justin Michael Williams made meditation accessible for me. He demystified it and showed me it didn’t have to be such hard work, that I could make it work for me."

🔸 Take what you learn and teach others, so everyone has the opportunity to live at their full potential.

Words from some of Justin's Teachers

Lorin Roche

“Meditation can be wonderfully liberating, or it can be oppressive and frustrating. The difference is that you have to customize meditation to fit your type—your body type, emotion type, mental type, and the flow of your daily life. If we don’t invent our own approach to meditation, then we’ll be oppressed by somebody else’s system. Justin will teach you how to create a practice that works for you and with you, regardless of what you’re dealing with in your life.”

Sianna Sherman

"Justin Michael Williams is a radical new voice for the times we live in, not afraid to show up fully, go the distance, and embrace the full spectrum of life. Change is here. Rooted and real, authentic and courageous, this will change your life and invite you to a whole new realm of possibility."

What previous Teachers have said about the training:

"This program has allowed me to love myself and truly let other people in and love me, flaws and all. I have kept myself and others at a distance for so long, and it feels amazing to take a leap towards love and find yourself embraced by so many amazing people."

- Christine Petrich

"My biggest transformation in this training has been developing the confidence and skills to facilitate the meditations that I’ve always dreamed of facilitating! Plus being able to have learned to accept and experience all of my inner and outer experiences from a space of awareness rather than judgment."

- Trey Carlisle

"Through this training, I have transformed in the way of knowing and seeing possibility. I have become confident in my skills, and am ready to fully accept my divine mission in bringing this knowledge to women who were in the same position I was. I am inspired, disciplined, and sitting back a lot better in this seat of consciousness."

- Ann Meschelle Munro

"This program has taught me to trust my inner knowing and how to step into my authentic self. Both of which have allowed me to start realizing my dreams and taking action towards my health, career, and other areas of my life. I feel this training had a huge impact on seeing my cancer in a different context, allowing me to embrace it, learn the many lessons it has to teach me, and be able to share those lessons through stories and meditations to help others. There is no going back to the place I was before this training!"

- Daphne Gardiner
