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 with one all day (9am-2pm) retreat session. Sessions will include:
- Guided activities, including body scans, mindful yoga, stretching, and other movements to learn how to listen to your physical body
- Teacher-led instruction in mindfulness meditation practices
- Exercises to improve awareness in everyday life
- Interactive learning with group dialogue and mindful communication
- Daily at-home assignments, reading materials and guided audio meditations.
