Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction


White Awareness: Relational Mindfulness and Race Equity (Fall 2023)

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR): Developing and Cultivating Present Moment Awareness
​

Picture
The Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction or MBSR program integrates the Spiritual Practice of Mindfulness into daily life: learning to walk the 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 this eight-week, ten session program (includes a retreat) you will learn, “Present Moment Awareness” which may quiet the mind, sharpen focus, increase concentration, and support a sense of empowerment. Finding peace and balance is essential towards living a meaningful life. 

INFORMATION/REGISTRATION:  Future dates to be announced. MBSR is open to all. Attendance required at one MBSR information/registration session which includes: program information, practice, interview, logistics, and fee collection. If unable to attend please contact Holly Nelson-Johnson: [email protected]

PROGRAM FEE: $525. Fee reduced to $495 when paid in full at registration. Scholarships available. Participants receive over 30 hours group instruction including: MBSR workbook with meditations, practices, skill guides, resources, and five guided Mindfulness home practice recordings. Class size is limited.

LOCATION:  All sessions offered via secure Zoom video platform, free download at: https://zoom.us/.
