Description

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 (MBSR) practices 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 MBSR is based on the 8-week Stress Reduction Program founded in 1979 by Jon Kabat-Zinn at the University of Massachusetts Medical School. 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.

Florence Meleo-Meyer and Robert Smith, senior teachers at the Center for Mindfulness at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, 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.

Upon completion, participants will be better able to:

  • Use the tools of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction to cope more effectively with both short- and long-term stress
  • Develop greater self-respect, energy, and enthusiasm for life
  • Obtain lasting improvements in physical and psychological well-being
  • Cultivate and integrate mindfulness in everyday life. 

This workshop begins Sunday at 8:00 p.m. You must attend all 6 days.
