8 Week Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is the gold-standard, evidence-based program developed by Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn at the University of Massachusetts Medical School. For over four decades, MBSR has helped people reduce stress, improve focus, and live with greater presence and resilience.
Led by a Qualified MBSR Instructor trained at Brown University, this live online course combines mindfulness meditation, body awareness, gentle yoga, and group inquiry to help you relate to stress with more clarity and less reactivity.
Who It’s For
Anyone who feels caught in the cycle of anxiety whether it shows up as overthinking, avoidance, constant “what if” spirals, or stress you feel in your body before you even know why. You may notice that you reach for distractions (phone, food, social media) or avoid certain tasks as a way to cope, only to find yourself in the same loop again. If you’re open to a science-backed, mindfulness-based path for change, this group is designed for you.
You’ll Learn To
Relate to stress with clarity instead of reactivity
Improve focus, presence, and emotional regulation
Integrate mindfulness into daily life
Support nervous system balance
Cultivate a long-term, sustainable practice
