Event Overview
Mindfulness is a way of learning to embrace the present moment. Oftentimes, we are caught up in our minds thinking of things that have occurred in the past or may occur in the future. In doing this, we miss the life that is unfolding right at the moment. Mindfulness helps us wake up to the moment that is right here, right now. 

Mindfulness 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.

This course is adapted from the standard 8-week course and offers an opportunity for you to come together in community each week to practice and connect. The class consists of guided meditations, discussion, and teachings on various topics such as stress, difficult communications, role of perception, pleasant and unpleasant events.

Learning Outcomes
Two decades of published research indicates that the majority of people who complete the MBSR course report:

 - Increased well-being and happiness
 - Less stress and anxiety - Strengthened immune system
 - Less emotional reactivity
 - Greater focus and cognitive flexibility
 - Greater empathy and compassion
 - Lasting decreases in physical and psychological symptoms
 - Reductions in pain levels and an enhanced ability to cope with pain

MBSR is for everyone. The only requirement is the desire for greater awareness, balance, ease, and happiness.

Note: These sessions will not be recorded. In order to be able to prioritize group connection and experience; participants will have the option to turn cameras and microphones on during the sessions.
