Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction

A weekly class for eight weeks concluding with a 7-hour day of mindfulness. This introductory course is based on Jon Kabat-Zinn’s model in his book, Full Catastrophe Living. Mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) is ideal for anxiety, depression, chronic pain and illness, cardiac disease, the demands of care-giving, life-threatening illness, grief, spiritual emptiness and balancing everyday stress. Participants learn and practice the basic skills and begin to experience their impact on everyday life, health and well-being. Each session involves walking, eating, sitting and/or yoga meditation, instruction and group discussion. Both instructors have trained professionally with Jon Kabat-Zinn and have years of experience with MBSR training.
