I hear this is good:

Join guest instructorBill Mies for a Mindful Based Stress Reduction Series
starting Friday, March 28th through May 23rd from 7:00 pm to 9:30 pm at TS Dupont.
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction is an eight-week program + 1 full 
day that assists people who want to learn to use their own internal 
resources to respond more skillfully to stress, medical and 
psychological conditions, and promote healthy living. It offers 
spiritual insight and practices along with their practical application 
to health and well-being.
The classes are modeled after the ones developed by Dr. Jon 
Kabat-Zinn at the Stress Reduction Clinic at the University of 
Massachusetts Medical Center. It also has been featured on PBS in Bill 
Moyers’ documentary, “Healing and the Mind”, the Oprah Winfrey Show, 
NBC’s Dateline, ABC’s Evening News, and hundreds of newspapers, 
magazines, and scientific publications.

practice. His joy for the teachings shines through in his gentle
