Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction

Mindfulness begins with presence—being here, fully, in this moment. And yet, how easily we drift. Into autopilot. Into overwhelm. Numb or racing. Simply surviving the day instead of living it.

We long to be awake to our lives, but somehow along the way, we forget how.

This evidence-based program, developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn, integrates mindfulness meditation, body awareness, and gentle movement practices to support your journey toward greater balance and resilience.

Join us for an 8-week online Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) course designed to help you:

  • ✺

    Reduce stress and anxiety

  • ✺

    Enhance self-awareness and emotional regulation

  • ✺
