Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is one of most recognized and respected mind/body training programs in the world. Pioneered by Jon Kabat-Zinn and colleagues at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, mindfulness has emerged as a trainable skill with measurable clinical efficacy. The emphasis of MBSR is the development of mindful awareness- the ability to pay attention on purpose in the present moment without judgment. It is simple but not easy. It is innate but underdeveloped. It is the heart of the body/mind connection. These eight weeks are an important opportunity to slow down and pay attention to how your body, mind, and emotions actually operate; and to practice new ways to lessen unnecessary stress reactivity while strengthening effective responses.

This is an 8 week series.
