This special introductory class is being offered for
anyone interested in learning more about the upcoming 8-week Mindfulness-Based
Stress Reduction courses. Our next MBSR course begins on July 10. 
In this introductory class you will learn about some of
the principles of mindfulness and practice both formal and informal mindfulness
meditation.
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is an eight-week
program 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 wellbeing.
The classes are modeled after the ones offered at the
Stress Reduction Clinic developed by Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn at the University of
Massachusetts Medical Center. This 30-year-old program is highly respected in
the medical community. It and also has been featured on PBS in Bill
Moyers&rsquo; documentary, &ldquo;Healing and the Mind&rdquo;, the
Oprah Winfrey Show, NBC&rsquo;s Dateline, ABC&rsquo;s Evening News, and
hundreds of newspapers and magazine articles.
The course schedule consists of eight weekly classes and
one day-long workshop. This highly participatory, practical course includes:
Guided instruction in mindfulness meditation practices
Gentle stretching and mindful yoga
Group dialogue and discussions aimed at enhancing awareness
in everyday life
Daily home assignments
Four home practice CDs and a home practice manual
 
Participants attending the two-hour class should bring
comfortable clothing, layers for adjusting to the temperature, and pillows for
comfort. Chairs will be provided.

is MBSR?”.
