An informational overview and experiential introduction to the 8-week Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) class. We will explore such questions as: What is Mindfulness? How can I be more Mindful in my day-to-day life? What interferes with and prevents this from navigating with ease? Several experiential skills will be introduced. Hopefully, this drop-in will cultivate more curiosity and desire for the 8-week class series.
Join us to learn about Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC), an empirically-supported course that enhances our capacity for emotional well-being. MSC practices strengthen our ability to meet life’s difficulties with wisdom, kindness, and spaciousness, allowing us to relate wholeheartedly to others and be more authentically ourselves. This drop-in class will provide a quick overview of the MSC program, answer the question “What is MSC?”, and allow a chance to practice the “Self-Compassion Break”, a core practice from MSC. No experience necessary!
Our mindfulness and resilience practices are key to our interactions with others, both loved ones and strangers. Using these practices, we will explore how to facilitate our connection with others. This session will consist of a few minutes of didactic information, and a facilitated meditation, along with other experiential exercises and suggestions for incorporating this into your day to day.
We are sorry, this course has been cancelled. View our Events Calendar for other CCFW courses, workshops, and drop-ins.

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is a scientifically supported program developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn, Ph.D. to reduce stress and increase well-being. It is thriving worldwide. Attitudes of kindness, acceptance, and patience provide a foundation for the practices of sustained focus, self-regulation, and self-exploration. A greater sense of balance, choice, and freedom is cultivated.
