Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction
Updated 8.6.2020
2020 Fall Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Program
Gathering for Mindful Learning in a Virtual Classroom
Mindfulness into daily life: learning to walk a contemplative path with practical feet. We learn to pay attention in the present moment without judgment, to life as it unfolds. Research shows MBSR supports health enhancement, and develops emotional resilience. In MBSR you will learn, “Present Moment Awareness” which may quiet the mind, sharpen focus, increase concentration, and support a sense of empowerment. Finding peace in these times is essential towards living a meaningful life.
