Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)

We can build an MBSR program tailored for your school, organization or team. This highly participatory and interactive eight-week program, based on the work of Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn and the Center for Mindfulness in Medicine, Health Care and Society, is designed to address daily stress and burnout and includes one weekly session and a one-day retreat with between-session home assignments to reinforce classroom learning.

The program consists of:

• Guided instruction in mindfulness meditation practices
• Gentle stretching and mindful yoga
• Group dialogue and mindful communication
• Individually tailored instruction
• Daily home assignments
• Home practice materials

The program is challenging and life-affirming, and we welcome your inquiries.

Nearly three decades of scientific research conducted by the Center for Mindfulness and medical centers throughout the world suggest that training in mindfulness and MBSR can positively and often profoundly affect participants’ medical symptoms associated with stress and psychological distress while learning to live more fully.

“Spirituality has largely been cast into a separate department of my life.  How refreshing it is to discover that spirituality pervades all realms of our being:  that when I mindfully wash dishes or fold laundry, it’s part of my spirituality….I was an unbeliever.  To be vital, awake and aware in all areas of one’s life is quite a challenge…For the world to benefit from my coming alive, I must be in community and mindful of how my vitality can be shared in a gentle way.”
