Grounded in science, MBSR is the most widely researched mind-body program in the world. Participants in this eight-session Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) course will gain a first hand introduction to mindfulness practices involving breathing and gentle body movements and methods for incorporating mindfulness practices into their everyday life and work. This program, which originated at the Center for Mindfulness at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, has been on the cutting edge of mind/body integration medicine for 30 years. This unique technique helps participants develop an awareness of their bodies and their emotions and facilitates their ability to thoughtfully respond instead of react to situations.

The course will be led by Beth Sandweiss and runs Saturdays from June 28 to August 17 (No Class on July 5) from 9:30am-12pm in ASB 420. *Please note, that Week 8 Class will be held on Saturday, August 17th following the Week 7 Class on Friday, August 16th. It includes an all-day retreat on Sunday, August 4 from 9am-4pm.
