Mindfulness is a way of paying attention on purpose, in the present moment, with kindness towards our experience.

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction is the gold-standard, evidence-based mindfulness curriculum developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn at the University of Massachusetts Medical School to help patients with chronic pain and illness work with stress and stress-related symptoms. Since its inception in 1979, MBSR has been shown to improve anxiety, fatigue, insomnia, pain, physiological and cognitive manifestations of stress, and more.

 

This virtual course, led by Cheryl Fandozzi and Dr. Mulvihill, teaches several forms of mindfulness and meditation practices, emphasizing ways of integrating mindfulness into daily life in order to reduce stress and improve overall well-being.
