Upcoming! Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction - Summer 2024

What is mindfulness?

Mindfulness is a way of learning to relate directly to whatever is happening in your life so

that you can experience greater vitality and well-being in the present moment. Pain, whether physical or emotional, tends to force our attention to contract. Rather than thinking about what may lie ahead or events from the past, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction is an educational program that offers a way of living more skillfully which can help you expand your awareness, discover choices where none were seen before, and live your life in a more deeply satisfying way. It is a way of doing something for yourself that no one else can do for you. It teaches an approach for systematically transforming stress, whether from pain, illness, or the challenges and demands of everyday life.
