“I’m ready to be done worrying and feeling stressed out all the time.”
“I want more peace of mind.”
“I suffer from chronic pain, and I want to learn how to manage it better.”
If any of these sound familiar, you may be ready for Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR). This scientifically proven program, developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn, PhD, has been shown to reduce stress, decrease chronic pain, and increase personal well-being.
The next MBSR series will meet for 8 weeks on Monday evenings both in person and online from 6:30 – 9:00 PM Pacific Standard Time. Fall class dates are October 12 through November 30.

About the MBSR Course
In this 8-week MBSR course, you’ll practice techniques and develop skills based on the latest neuroscience to effectively manage and reduce stress. Research findings indicate that when practiced regularly, skills developed in this course can literally rewire the brain, resulting in improved health and overall well-being.
Routinely living life on autopilot, being unaware of how stressed out we are, does not serve us well. Our body, mind, and soul pay an increasingly high price, indicated by symptoms of compromised physical, mental, emotional, and psychological health.
Scientifically-proven benefits of MBSR include:
-
Lowered stress levels
-
Reduced chronic pain (back pain, headaches, hypertension, etc.)
-
Decreased worry, anxiety, and depression
-
Fewer sleep problems
-
Improved emotional regulation
-
Sharpened mental focus and enhanced attention
-
Improved immune system functioning
-
Help with life-threatening medical illnesses
-
More satisfying relationships
-
Better ability to cope with grief and loss
-
Support for recovery from substance abuse
-
Increased joy, resilience, and compassion
In the MBSR course, you will learn meditation practices to develop mindfulness, also referred to as present-moment awareness. Through instruction and daily practice, you will develop the capacity to notice when you’re stressed out and learn skills to take better care of yourself, minimize the negative effects of stress in the moment, and experience greater well-being.
The MBSR class offers instruction in:
-
mindfulness meditation (sitting and walking)
-
mindfulness practices for daily life
-
body awareness
-
mindful yoga
-
self-reflective inquiry
You’ll be supported throughout the program to develop your own mindfulness practice to sustain you long after this class ends.
