Are you ready to be proactive about your health and well-being? Do you want to acquire new tools for living with more strength and resilience? Learning to incorporate mindfulness-based stress reduction practices (MBSR) into your life is a short-term investment that will help you live with greater ease, joy, depth, and balance every day.
This challenging and life-affirming workshop in mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) is based on the 8-week Stress Reduction Program founded in 1979 by Jon Kabat-Zinn at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center. Highly respected within the medical community, the program supports health enhancement and wellness, with a focus on prevention and learning how to take good care of yourself.
Melissa Blacker and Florence Meleo-Meyer, directors of mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) teacher development programs, adapt the lessons of the Stress Reduction Program to this 5-day intensive format and guide you in learning and practicing mindfulness skills in a safe, supportive, and highly participatory structured learning environment. Through group and individual instruction, you learn step-by-step how to practice and integrate mindfulness into your daily life, and rediscover the healthy balance that lies beneath life’s turbulent changes.
Mental health professionals learn techniques and interventions they can use with their clients to increase the power and value of their professional work.
This workshop begins Sunday at 8:00 p.m. You must attend all 5 days.
Melissa Blacker, MA, and Florence Meleo-Meyer, MS, MA, are senior teachers and directors of MBSR teacher development programs at the Center for Mindfulness at the University of Massachusetts Medical School. umassmed.edu/cfm
