This October, Join Us for Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction - an 8-week immersion in embodied mindfulness practices

ALL levels welcome - no experience necessary!


What is Mindfulness-Based Stress Reductio (MBSR)? Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is an 8-week evidence based, live experiential program designed to provide participants with intense and systematic training in mindfulness meditation and embodied movement practices, including gentle stretching and mindful yoga.

Decades of research have documented MBSR's beneficial effects on physical and psychological well-being since its inception in 1979 by Jon Kabat-Zinn at the University of Massachusetts Medical School.

Some research-backed benefits observed over the past 40+ years include*:

      • Reduced stress, worry, and anxiety

      • Increased resilience and well-being

      • Improved mood and emotional stability

      • Improved immune function, pain relief, and reduced blood pressure

      • Strengthened decision making, memory, and problem solving abilities - as well as enhanced focus and attentional control

    • Improved empath, compassion, and communication skills


*Each participant's experience and benefits during MBSR will differ. Specific empirical (research) citations available upon request.

The intention is to allow for generosity as well as individual circumstances. We encourage you to pay what you are able to afford and appreciate your thoughtfulness in the process.
