This course focuses on Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), an evidence-based curriculum developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn, PhD in the late 70s at the University of Massachusetts. It has become the leading curriculum for teaching secular mindfulness practice and is now taught in over 750 health centers around the world.
This course offering for therapists will follow the traditional curriculum, meeting for 2 hours once a week for 8 weeks, with a 5-hour Day of Silence on the Saturday following Class #6.
Participants will learn the formal and informal mindfulness practices and will be supported in developing a home practice.
This course may benefit participants in multiple areas, including: reduced stress and increased well-being; improved balance between work and personal life; better communication with patients and others. Familiarity with the practice of mindfulness allows therapists to determine suitability of mindfulness practices and programs for clients and ways to teach the practices in a skillful manner.
Upon successful completion of the course, participants will be given a certificate of attendance and be eligible to embark on MBSR teacher training if they desire. In order to qualify for a certificate of attendance, participants must complete at least 6 of the weekly sessions in addition to the Day of Silence.
