MINDFULNESS-BASED STRESS REDUCTION (MBSR)
 

This 8-week class is taught in a group and is modeled on the program developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn, PhD and U MASS Medical School's Center for Mindfulness.  Studies show that mindfulness practice can result in:

​

• Less anxiety and a greater sense of mental and physical ease

• Enhanced concentration

• Improved relationships

• Greater resiliency at work and home

​

Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction uses meditation, mindful movement, mind-body awareness, small group discussion, and personal reflection to teach how to integrate mindfulness into everyday life. Mary is a Certified MBSR Instructor having completed extensive professional training through the University of California Medical School Center for Mindfulness. Contact Mindfulness to Work to discuss hosting a class at your organization or to find out when the next course is being held in the Low Country of South Carolina.

6-WEEK MINDFULNESS IN THE WORKPLACE COUSE
 

Like any skill, Mindfulness takes hold best with regular practice and reinforcement. The course consists of six, ninety minute, weekly group sessions and is based on the transformative Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction program.  The sessions are held in the workplace and can be scheduled at any time of day. Each session combines mindfulness practice, discussions around the practical application of mindfulness both at work and at home, and lots of take-home strategies for helping Mindfulness to take root and go beyond concepts. One-on-one coaching is available as follow-up to the course or for those who prefer to learn in a one-on-one situation versus a group.
