Intro to Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)

What to expect

6-Week Program: July 10 - August 14

Wednesdays 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM via Zoom

Join our expert facilitator, Lisa Sheehan, this July/August on Zoom, for an Introduction to the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program created at UMASS Medical School by Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn in 1979.  With concepts and practices drawn directly from the original 8-week MBSR program, this is an experiential, introspective program that examines the science behind mindfulness, the psychology and physiology of stress, and encompasses a variety of mindfulness techniques, including meditation. Explore how mindfulness supports present moment awareness of sensations, thoughts, and emotions - building internal resources to manage stress and our responses. 


No previous experience is necessary to participate in this 6-week Intro to MBSR program. All are welcome. All sign ups are tax deductible and donations for scholarships are encouraged for those that have the means. Nonprofit, healthcare and government workers are encouraged to apply and let us know if a scholarship would be valuable.
