What is Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction?

Center for Mindfulness Logo A life-affirming course in conscious living

The course schedule consists of eight weekly classes and one daylong class on a weekend. This highly participatory, practical course includes:

  • Guided instruction in mindfulness meditation practices
  • Gentle stretching and mindful yoga
  • Inquiry exercises to enhance awareness in everyday life
  • Individually tailored instruction
  • Group dialogue
  • Daily home assignments
  • Four CDs of guided practices and a workbook
  • A free copy of Full Catastrophe Living by Jon Kabat-Zinn, Ph.D.

The course is challenging and life-affirming. The instructors are accomplished and skilled at creating a safe, supportive, and deeply engaging learning environment that allows participants to seek, explore, and inquire.

NOTE: In order to participate in a Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction class, you must attend a mandatory informational session to acquaint you with the experience and expectations of the course. Contact us to find out the time and place for the next informational session and to RSVP to attend.
