Cultivate Calm, Clarity, and Resilience — in 8 weeks

Stress is a natural part of life — how we relate to it makes all the difference.

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is a structured, evidence-based 8-week program that teaches practical mindfulness skills to help you respond more skillfully to stress, anxiety, and the challenges of everyday life. Through guided meditation, gentle movement, group reflection, and a half-day retreat, you’ll develop tools that support lasting well-being.

As a Qualified MBSR Instructor trained by Brown University, I’ll guide you through this immersive 8-week journey.
The program combines mindfulness meditation, gentle yoga, and group inquiry—helping you meet stress with steadiness, clarity, and compassion.

No prior meditation experience is required.

What is MBSR?

Originally developed by Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn, MBSR is one of the most widely researched mindfulness programs in the world. It is offered globally in hospitals, universities, wellness centers, and community settings.

This experiential course supports you in:

  • Becoming more aware of habitual stress reactions

  • Learning how to pause and respond with greater clarity

  • Cultivating presence, self-compassion, and resilience

  • Integrating mindfulness into daily life, work, and relationships

MBSR is not about eliminating stress —

‍ it’s about changing your relationship to it.

Here is a short video explaining the practical use of mindfulness in daily life.

Curriculum Overview
What you’ll experience, week by week

  • A gentle introduction to mindfulness and the structure of the program.
    We’ll explore what mindfulness is (and isn’t), review expectations, and create a foundation for the weeks ahead.

  • We begin with the basics: awareness of breath and body.
    You’ll be introduced to focused attention, mindful eating, and the body scan—while beginning to notice the mind’s natural tendency to wander.

  • How we see things shapes how we respond.
    Through practice and reflection, we begin to recognize patterns in how we interpret our experiences—and how that influences stress.

  • We deepen practice through movement, sitting meditation, and awareness of pleasant experiences.
    You may begin to notice moments of ease, presence, and connection in everyday life.

  • We explore the physiology of stress and the patterns of automatic reaction.
    With greater awareness, you begin to see how stress shows up—and how it can be met differently.

  • Here, mindfulness becomes a tool for interrupting the stress cycle.
    You’ll begin to respond with more intention, rather than reacting out of habit.

  • Less talking. More being.

    An opportunity to step out of doing—and experience awareness more continuously.

  • We bring awareness into relationships—how we listen, speak, and respond.
    You’ll begin to notice patterns in communication and explore more intentional ways of relating.

  • Practice begins to extend beyond formal meditation.
    You may notice more focus, less reactivity, and a growing ability to meet life as it is.

  • We come full circle.
    Reflecting on what you’ve learned, and how to carry it forward in a way that is sustainable and meaningful.
