Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction is an 8-week evidence-based, highly participatory program. Research on MBSR consistently demonstrates positive outcomes for a wide variety of challenges including highly stressful work or family circumstances, sleep disturbances, anxiety, depression and chronic pain. Attitudes of kindness, openness and patience provide a foundation for the practices of sustained focus, self-regulation and self-exploration with each week centering on a theme to support the individualized application of mindfulness to daily life.
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is a robust and engaging program designed to teach participants skills, knowledge, and wholesome ways of meeting life’s challenges. This interactive 8-week program prioritizes experiential learning of mindfulness – present-centered, nonjudgemental awareness – through guided meditations, mindful movement, and inquiry-based group dialogue.
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.

Inspired by Days of Mindfulness, from MBSR and Mindful Self-Compassion classes, this Day of Respite, a 6-hour retreat, is meant to nourish and nurture those whose work or life activities bring them in contact with difficulty and suffering. We will use mindfulness and compassion practices to guide us during the day. The experience is designed to be one of deep welcoming, acceptance, rest, and compassionate care.
In order to successfully navigate all the stresses and changes in our lives, planned and unplanned, we need resilience. Resilience is the capacity to recover from adversity, trauma and setbacks and to keep on going in pursuit of goals and opportunities. Resilience is a trait that can be learned and cultivated. This class draws from the empirically validated approaches of both Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Compassion Cultivation Training (CCT) curricula, as well as some of the latest neuroscience and research work around trauma and resilience.
