Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (PDV 67)
Mindfulness is a way of consciously working with the stressful challenges in our day-to-day lives. By cultivating non-judgmental awareness, we can experience each moment, no matter how difficult or intense, with greater clarity, balance, and joyful participation.
Through mindfulness meditation, gentle mindful movement (yoga and qigong), selected readings, and group discussion, we gain access to powerful inner resources for learning and growing, relaxation, and healing, even in the midst of stress, pain, and illness.
The program is modeled after the work of Jon Kabat-Zinn, PhD, featured in the Bill Moyers television special, Healing and the Mind. Two decades of published scientific research indicates that the majority of people who complete this program report lasting improvements, including greater energy and enthusiasm for life, increased ability to relax, decreased physical and psychological symptoms of stress, reductions in pain levels, and improved self-esteem.
Class schedule:
9 Thursdays, April 10 - June 5, 7:00 - 9:00 pm
1 Sunday, May 25, 9:30 am - 4:00 pm
