About

The 8-week Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction course was initially targeted to individuals with chronic health problems, helping them to cope with the effects of pain, illness, and the impact of these conditions on their lives. Today MBSR is taught to people worldwide experiencing challenges in all areas of life. The motivation for many to enroll in MBSR begins with wanting to live in a way that incorporates key aspects of presence, awareness, and a sense of being in touch with oneself.

Participants will learn:

1. Informal and formal meditation and mindfulness practices and tools to cultivate a

systematic way to integrate them into their everyday lives.

2. Approach your life with more composure, energy, understanding, and enthusiasm.

3. Develop the ability to cope more effectively with short-term and long-term stressful

situations, and gain insight into response rather than reaction.

4. Enhance your ability to manage and reduce pain levels.

5. Improve your focus, resilience, and capacity to recover quickly from challenging events.

6. Cultivate a natural capacity to actively engage in caring for yourself and find greater balance, ease,

and peace of mind.

7. Communicate the key aspects of mindfulness as it relates to stress reduction, coping with pain and

illness, and enhancing well-being

8. Practice and apply mindfulness techniques in both personal and professional settings as a means of

contending more effectively with the demands of life, and to facilitate more effective and mindful

communication.
