With Justin Michael Williams
About the training
Be a part of the Transformational Leader Teacher Training Certification program by Justin Michael Williams. This program will provide you with the practices, tools, and knowledge to transform your own life and take that transformation out into the world. Whether you take it to your kids, family, community, corporation, organization, or national reach — this program will teach you how to use meditation, shadow work, and social equality to change lives. Learn to teach Freedom Meditation. This is your opportunity to cultivate your personal practice, learn how to take inspired action in your life and community, see the “behind the scenes” of how Justin works, and learn how to cultivate a thriving business doing what you love. Select participants will have opportunities to be hired by our organization to be leaders in our community.
"We believe in the elevation of human consciousness for all people—not just some, not just the chosen few."
- Justin Michael Williams
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, 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 life, so you can find a sanctuary within yourself, no matter what is going on around you.
We don’t use meditation to feel good, we use meditation to become more of who we really are.
"We don't meditate to get better at meditating, we meditate to get better at life." - Sharon Salzberg
What others have said about Justin and his work, and his book Stay Woke:
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, this book 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.”
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.”
Yung Pueblo (Diego Perez)
"Williams has created something special... Out of the many voices in the world, this is the one we shou'd listen to."
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."

Kind 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."
How the Training Works

See 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
