Mindfulness Practice and Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction
“I hope to foster genuine human connection in hopes that in doing so we touch into being human together and suffering is eased.”

What is MBSR?
The MBSR 8-week program is an intensive course designed to immerse you in the practice of mindfulness. Taught by certified instructors, following the gold standard of mindfulness originally developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn. By cultivating present moment awareness with kindness and without judgement, we create room for possibility. MBSR is a lifetime tool that can enhance your quality of life, relationships, health, and wellness for decades to come.
Is MBSR right for me?
Easy practices such as meditation, gentle movement, and breathing are at the heart of the program. In a warm and supported community you’ll gain the skill and confidence to integrate mindfulness practice into everyday life. Reconnect with the important details of life through guided practices, instruction, and support.
Bring mindfulness to life at your own gentle and individual pace as you learn to change your relationship with stress and connect more deeply with what is important to you. Develop a new relationship with self, life, and stress and discover a more peaceful and balanced you. The MBSR 8-week program is specifically designed to:
- Release stress
- Find time for you
- Balance loves with needs
- Alleviate burnout
- Reconnect, renew, rebalance, and regenerate
