Mindfulness Programs

Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction

MBSR brings the principles of mindfulness meditation into everyday life by teaching specific skills and practices to help break cycles of anxiety, stress, unhappiness and exhaustion. It can be beneficial for adults, adolescents and children, healthcare professionals, as well as for different health-related outcomes including eating disorders,  pain management, sleep disorders and psychological distress.

​

MBSR is different from many other mindfulness offerings in terms of dedicated attention with a teacher, time spent in actual practice and the transformative power of the experience with other people in the group. It is delivered over eight weeks and involves: 

• An individual phone interview, and ongoing individual support from your teacher

• A 2.5 hour weekly class, over eight weeks, plus one full retreat day

• Mindfulness meditation and body awareness training

• An exploration of your own patterns and how to transform them

• Good conversations about things that matter

• Scientific rationale for the practice
