MINDFULNESS-BASED STRESS REDUCTION

Mindfulness is a practice that helps us to see things as they really are with kindness and compassion. It can be a radical act of self-love and self-care. This 8-week group experience offers an opportunity to wake up to life and be more present in our everyday experiences.

Some of the benefits of a mindfulness practice can include:

• decreased anxiety

• reduction in repetitive thoughts

• improved ability to manage pain

• reduction in blood pressure

• increased awareness of your eating habits

This program is for you if:

• you have tried many tools to decrease stress, improve your relationships, or manage anxiety and are ready to add a new tool to your arsenal.

• you want to learn more about how perception and prior experiences have an impact on the way you react and respond to life.

• you are open to practicing and sharing in a group setting

What you can expect:

• an invitation to be open, curious, kind, and compassionate—to yourself, those you love, and your community.

• learning how to overcome common challenges with meditation practice

• regular practice with a supportive teacher and group members.

Logistics:

• 8 weekly sessions that are 2.5 hours in length.

• 1 All-day silent retreat (7 hours)
