Your mentor
I came to meditation the hard way. I crashed my life into a ditch: divorce, parenting two young boys solo, a new career in a new town, and then my mother passed away. I was done. But meditation and a spiritual practice saved me. It’s why this work means so much to me.
I’m Ilia Grace, a meditation teacher and the founder of On Spiritual Health. My work draws on more than thirteen years studying New Thought and on the practices I’ve used to examine my own beliefs and choices.
I also bring experience from producing my own podcast, independent films and TV, so we’ll work on both what you want to say and how to record it clearly.
Has meditation ever carried you through a difficult period? Or have you been working on your spiritual health long enough to notice what you wish someone could have helped you with years ago?
You have something worth sharing. Your unique experience and your perspective are valuable.
This training is where you learn the craft. How a variety of practices work, how to guide someone whose experience is different from your own, and how to trust your own voice through all of it.
You don’t have to wait until you feel ready. You already know what it’s like to struggle and to find something that helps. That’s the starting point.
Someone out there is waiting to hear a meditation that can only come from you. From what you’ve learned along the way. And from what you know to be true for you. As someone who’s found a way through.
Explore styles including mindfulness, body scan and guided visualization. Learn to recognize the thought patterns that pull you away from the life you want, and develop a practice you can keep returning to.
Give your meditation a clear beginning and ending. Learn when to speak and when to leave room for silence. Practice aloud and get feedback on whether your instructions land.
Write your own scripts. Draw on what you’ve learned without assuming your experience is everyone’s experience. Develop a teaching voice you feel comfortable using.
Work through microphone setup, recording and basic editing. Prepare an original meditation and learn how to submit it to Insight Timer, or use it in your own teaching.
Some students arrive with a steady practice and a first serious thought about teaching. Others already hold space for people: yoga teachers, therapists, educators, social workers and coaches who want to bring guided meditation into work they already do.
And some come because they struggled, found something that helped, and want to offer it responsibly. Lived experience gives you perspective. Training teaches you where the limits of your role belong.
If your first reason for coming is your own spiritual health, that matters too. The course includes teaching practice and recording assignments, so it’s a good fit if you’re willing to explore guiding others, even before you know where it might lead.
The curriculum
Week one, you sit with your own practice. Week nine, you guide a room.
The first cohort begins Sunday, January 10, 2027. Live sessions run Sundays at 11am ET (4pm UK) for one hour: five led by me, four peer practice workshops. Some trainings are a hundred hours of philosophy that still leave you unsure how to guide. This one is built around the craft.
You finish with an original recording, submitted to Insight Timer, and the experience of leading meditation with feedback behind you.
Insight Timer reviews submissions independently; publication and earnings can’t be guaranteed.
Included in your tuition
Most online trainings send you a login. This one starts with a welcome package delivered to your door: a microphone and stand, a step-by-step tech guide, an On Spiritual Health Meditation Teacher Training workbook, one year of the Meing app FREE, and a BONUS How to Create Your Own Podcast guide.
And a handwritten welcome note from me.
January 2027 cohort
Early bird pricing, for the January cohort only.
The January cohort runs nine weeks and includes three private mentoring sessions. You’ll also have video lessons and personalised feedback as you develop your teaching and your first recording.
Your welcome package is included, along with guidance on your Insight Timer profile and preparing your meditation recordings for publishing on Insight Timer.
That thought is the most common one on this page. Most people wait for a someday that never announces itself. The training exists for the gap between practicing and guiding: you practice guiding inside the course, with feedback, before you ever stand in front of a room on your own.
You’ll earn a certificate of completion, based on a practice log, assessments, a submitted recording and a live guided practice. Honest context: there is no official body governing meditation teaching certification, anywhere. What you leave with is more useful than a badge: your own finished recording, prepared and submitted to Insight Timer.
That’s the point of the design. Some trainings are deep dives into philosophy that still leave you unsure how to guide. This one is built around the craft. By week five you’ve led a live session. By week six you’ve recorded. By week nine you’ve done both, with feedback.
Yes. Some graduates will charge. Others guide for free in their communities, or inside work they already do as teachers, therapists or coaches. The training is about guiding well. What you do with it is yours.
One live hour on Sundays at 11am ET (4pm in the UK), plus 3 to 5 hours a week for your own practice and assignments.
The first cohort begins Sunday, January 10, 2027. Tuition is $2,497 USD, including your welcome package. Early bird tuition is $1,997 but only until January 8.
Yes. The early bird tuition can be split into three monthly installments of $717 USD.
Every meditation you publish keeps working after you record it. Students find it at 2am, on a hard day, in a country you’ve never visited. Over time, that builds both a quiet income and a body of work that reaches people you’ll never meet. You get to help others through their own spiritual journey while earning from something you’ve already made.
No. The training starts with your own practice and builds from there.
A laptop, a USB microphone, and a pair of wired headphones. Your welcome package includes the microphone, and we cover the full setup together.
Yes. Live sessions run Sundays at 11am ET (4pm in the UK). All you need is a reliable internet connection and a quiet space to practice.
