Instructors and moderators

Acem is run by a group of dedicated volunteer instructors and moderators. No one earns money in developing and teaching meditation or other group activities in Acem. At the same time, Acem's work depends on high qualifications. Many of the instructors and leaders in Acem have a competence in meditation on a level with their professional careers.
