Our Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) Courses are modeled on the work of Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn at the University of Massachusetts Medical School. With almost thirty years of research supporting its effectiveness, Dr. Kabat-Zinn's groundbreaking work is now taught in hospitals, clinics, universities and research centers around the world. Our MBSR courses and workshops are designed to introduce participants to the concepts of mindful living. Participants learn to more skillfully engage with the stresses and challenges of every day life as well as more fully enjoy moments of joy and celebration.

Life can be both incredibly beautiful and incredibly difficult. Learn to live it well.
