Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)
MBSR is an eight-week evidence-based program developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn at the University of Massachusetts Stress Reduction Clinic in the 1970s and is one of the most studied mindfulness programs. It has been shown to reduce stress, and help with anxiety, depression, cardiovascular health, and pain among other health indicators. MBSR is an intensive secular mindfulness program that uses a combination of mindfulness meditation, body awareness, mindful movement, and exploration of patterns of behavior, thinking, feeling and action. Sharing experiences in small and large groups is an integral part of the course. Participants experience a greater sense of well-being, a different relationship to stress, improved communication, and heightened compassion among other benefits.
We will meet weekly in-person or over Zoom for 2.5 hours for 8 weeks, plus a 6 hour day of mindfulness on one weekend.

A growing body of evidence shows MBSR reducing clinician burnout, improving well-being, enhancing meaning, and leading to more patient-centered care.
