Programs for groups and individuals, including:
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) as well as professional training and mentoring in those programs.

We also offer silent meditation retreats that are suitable for all MBSR and MSC graduates and that meet the prerequisite for anyone wishing to enter teacher training for MBSR or MSC.  

At present, due to reasonable precautions related to Covid-19, all of our programs are offered online only. We will resume in-person programs once the health risks from gathering in groups has greatly diminished. We look forward to that day!

Unique in our region: all of our courses and programs are led by experienced and certified MBSR and MSC teachers who also train and mentor new teachers.

We also offer private programs as well as professional mentoring, training, and consultation. Click here for more info.

Cultivating mindfulness is a practical, effective, and accessible approach for enhancing quality of life and for reducing the harmful effects of stress, pain and illness.

Mindfulness has been defined (by teachers such as Jon Kabat-Zinn, PhD) as awareness that arises from paying attention, on purpose, to life as it is, moment-by-moment, non-judgmentally. The capacity for mindfulness is innate to all human beings; it can be cultivated and strengthened. The regular practice of mindfulness meditation is a well-respected approach to supporting health and well-being as well as insight, wisdom, and compassion.

“There is mounting evidence that cultivating mindfulness can increase our enjoyment of life, expand our capacity to cope with illness, and possibly improve our physical and emotional health… It can reduce stress and may help other treatments work better.”

Self-Compassion has been defined (by teachers such as Christopher Germer, PhD, and Kristin Neff, PhD) as the capacity to meet pain, discomfort, and distress in our own lives with the same kindness and understanding that we would naturally offer to a friend or loved one. In the Mindful Self-Compassion program, one engages in practices designed to cultivate mindfulness and self-compassion, developing a powerful approach for emotional resilience.
