We are offering one MSBR class this Winter. This class is virtual, highly interactive, and experiential.

MBSR is the original mindfulness class developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn and is the class studied in most of the research. Participating in MBSR is associated with reductions in stress, pain, depression, anxiety, and chronic unhappiness. MBSR started the current wave of mindfulness-based strategies for coping with a wide range of human struggles. 

The class focuses on practicing mindfulness—compassionate awareness of the present moment—in the class and between classes with recommended home practices.
