Description
This Mindfulness Based Stress Management course is an evidence based, educational, secular program modeled on the 8-week course as originally developed in the late 1970s at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center by Jon Kabat-Zinn, PhD. This 8-week course teaches participants the fundamentals of Mindfulness and how to cultivate coping strategies for dealing with stress and life’s daily challenges. In addition, Mindfulness is about waking up to our lives as we learn ways to pay attention on purpose, providing the opportunity to step out of Auto Pilot and live life more fully.
