8-week MBSR

8-Week MBSR Course

MBSR is an acronym for Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (or Resilience).

Have you experienced challenging or stressful situations, loss, or pain?
Would you like to grow your internal resources to heal old wounds and face everyday stress and pain without being overwhelmed by it?
Are you willing and able to make a sincere commitment to learn and practice mindfulness for 8-weeks to the extent possible?

If 'yes' then this course may be for you. It consists of:

8 classes, each 2.5 hours long, once a week, in a supportive and nurturing environment
One full-day (7 hours) silent retreat where you are guided through several mindful practices
Weekly assignments (guided daily home practice and more)
Supportive email communication throughout the course and follow-up afterwards
Opportunity to attend future Retreats at a nominal cost after graduation.

Must attend a free Intro/orientation before the course starts. If cannot attend the Intro due to schedule conflict, please contact me for an interview.

This course provides 25 contact hours of CEU to Social Workers.

Please stay tuned for 2019 schedule to be announced soon.
