Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction 2024

8 Week Course

Course Summary

Stressors are inevitable and usually out of our control, however, how we perceive and cope with our stress can change the way we experience day to day overwhelm, difficult times, and overall quality of life.  This 8 week Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction Course is adapted from the curriculum of Jon Kabat- Zinn.  In 1979 Kabat-Zinn a professor of medicine, founded the Stress Reduction Clinic and Center for Mindfulness at the University of Massachusetts Medical School and his curriculum has been used as the basis for hundreds of studies showing the numerous benefits of a Mindfulness Practice.  

Each week a new topic and meditation will be introduced to assist with the practice and understanding of living in the present moment.  

Evidence Based Benefits Include:
  • Helps Relieve Stress and Anxiety
  • Improved Sleep
  • Helps Relieve Symptoms of Depression
  • Better Emotional Regulation
  • Improved Memory
  • Improves Compassion for Self and Others

In this course you will learn:

  • How stress affects our body and mind
  • How being mindful of and changing the way we relate to stress can change the stress response in our body
  • How to live mindfully and be present
  • How to begin and maintain a meditation practice (hint: anyone can meditate and you can't do it wrong)
  • The scientific evidence supporting the many benefits of practicing mindfulness

Classes will be held on Wednesday evenings beginning April 24th at 7:00 pm for 8 weeks with the last class on Wednesday June 12th.
