MBSR Fall 2019 Live Online Course

Mindfulness is a way of learning to relate directly to whatever is happening in your life. It is a way of taking charge of your life, a way of doing something for yourself that no one else can do for you – consciously and systematically working with your own stress, pain, illness, and the challenges and demands of everyday life. Restoring within yourself a balanced sense of well-being requires increased awareness of all aspects of self, including body and mind, heart and soul. Mindfulness-based stress reduction is intended to ignite this inner capacity and infuse your life with awareness.

Mandatory Orientation
As a first step toward enrollment in the Course in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, we conduct a pre-program Orientation Session before the start of class. This Orientation Session is required of all participants before beginning the program. During this session you will have the opportunity to:

• Learn about Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction and explore whether it is right for you
• Experience, first-hand, mindfulness methods and approaches you will be learning during the program
• Meet with your program instructor for a brief, informal conversation about MBSR

A $100 deposit is due prior to the mandatory orientation. At the conclusion of the orientation, if you and your instructor discern that the course is a good fit for you, the balance of your registration is due.
