Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Course
This intensive 8-week course, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), was created by Jon Kabat-Zinn for UMASS Medical School in 1979.
Through this evidence-based approach, you will develop mindfulness and meditation practices to help you adjust your relationship with stress, anxiety, and pain. It’s time to step into a more resilient future.
Develop an inner sense of peace and calm in the face of modern life
