Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is an 8-week class that runs from April 13th through June 15th on Thursday evenings along with a full day Mindfulness Retreat on Saturday June 3rd.
MBSR is an evidence-based, well -researched program that offers secular intensive mindfulness training to assist people with a host of stress-related physical, emotional and psychological conditions. Along with ongoing practice throughout the week, this class trains attention and cultivates awareness, providing one with positive coping tools needed to become strong and resilient in both body and mind.
MBSR is a psychoeducational and highly experiential in nature. In addition to didactic teaching, classes are interactive and dynamic, using a combination of mindfulness meditation, body awareness, yoga and the exploration of patterns of behavior, thinking, feeling and action. The MBSR program helps us become aware of our habitual patterns of reacting and the self-agency to interrupt this cycle and create more choice in our life. MBSR offers us the potential to relate to ourselves, our experiences and the world around us with fresh perspectives and in new and more meaningful ways.
This is a hybrid class being offered both in-person and online via Zoom and each MBSR session includes:
An Orientation (1 hour)
8 – MBSR Class Sessions (2 ½ hours ea.)
Full Day Silent Mindfulness Retreat
