Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)

Adult and Senior / Health and Wellness -
Adult Enrichment 2024-2025
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction is for anyone who experiences stress in their life and would like to be able to manage it better. And more than that, it offers a way of being present to our lives so that we don't miss out on the beauty and joy that is also there. It is about balancing all our "doing" with a chance to "be" and in the process it can provide a path to more peace, clarity and wellbeing. It is an 8-week class and includes an All-Day Retreat. Much of each class is devoted to experiential learning--various mindfulness practices are introduced over the course of the 8 weeks:
  • guided sitting and walking meditation
  • gentle yoga
  • body scan
  • Qigong.
In addition to the experiential learning, each class will also have material presented on a variety of topics including perception, stress and our habitual reactions, positive neuroplasticity, working with difficult thoughts and emotions, and communication.
