Goals of MBSR

  • Learn life-long tools for living fully despite daily challenges and demands
  • Consciously promote resilience, positive psychology and emotional intelligence
  • Prevent burnout from the stress of work and taking care of others
  • Reduce errors and accidents at work and home
  • Systematically mobilize your inner resources for healing pain and illness
  • Practice a portable toolkit of self-care approaches for promoting health
  • Learn non-drug approaches for managing stress-related chronic conditions
  • Explore the meaning and deepest values that inform your life and your work
  • Cultivate your innate happiness, peacefulness, intuition and compassion

Slow down, relax the body, quiet the mind and open the heart

This experiential learning environment is based on a facilitated small group process.
Such group support can be a personally transformative model for learning and healing.

Mindfulness skills you will learn include

  • Mindful gentle movement
  • Body scan
  • Mindfulness meditation
  • Mindful eating
  • Mindful interpersonal communication (speaking and listening)
  • As well as  gratitude, generosity, self-massage, self-compassion, skilled relaxation, imagery and journaling
