Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction Foundational Course
September 24, 2024 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
This evidence-based program is based on Jon Kabat-Zinn’s model. Mindfulness is ‘the awareness that arises from paying attention in a particular way, on purpose, in the present moment and non-judgmentally.’ It enables individuals to step out of ‘automatic pilot.’ and connect and respond to daily life with increased awareness and self-control.
