Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction & Mindful Self-Compassion
Research has shown that mindfulness and self-compassion greatly enhances emotional wellbeing. It boosts happiness, reduces anxiety and depression, and can even help maintain healthy lifestyle habits such as diet and exercise.
Join a 4, 6, or 8-week series for the best cumulative effect in a cohort setting or an intro class to learn more. If you have already completed an MBSR or MSC, check out our offerings for graduates to deepen your practice.
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) was developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn in 1979 and is considered the gold standard in mindfulness training. Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) was developed by Kristin Neff & Chris Germer in 2012.
Mindfulness-Based Habit Change is for those who feel stuck from habits caused by the uncertainties of everyday life. If you are sometimes overwhelmed with worry, distracted by recurring thoughts, experiencing problems with restlessness, tension, or insomnia you may have a habit or even be addicted to anxiety or stress which is often an upstream cause of other habits and behaviors.
