Online | Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction

MBSR is an evidence-based program developed by Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn at the University of Massachusetts Medical School. This course is not an alternative to medical or psychological treatments but is a complement to those approaches. It is an instructor-led program where you are guided in practices that you can use to manage stress more effectively. Thus, MBSR creates a space for more healing, vitality and joy amongst the demands and stressors of daily life.

Participants will meet via zoom for 2.5 hours once a week on Wednesdays from February 7th to March 27th from 6:30 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. (ET). There will be one all-day session on Saturday March 16th  from 9 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. (ET).
