Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is an experiential, manualized and evidence-based 8-week program that teaches a learnable set of skills in mindful awareness practices. Thanks to donations to the Mindful Veterans Project,
the classes are offered to veterans and their partners for free.
The next session begins this week.
We are offering 3 classes this session – Wednesday in Tucson,
Thursday in Green Valley, and Friday in Tucson. The Wednesday and Thursday
classes are open to the community and free to veterans and their partners.
The Friday class at the Tucson Vet Center is free and only open to women veterans.

Taking an MBSR course requires a commitment to a change in lifestyle. The class meets for two to three hours every week and participants are asked to engage in up to an hour per day of home practice. Many people who are interested in learning mindful awareness skills do not wish to commit to making the time for the full MBSR program, others may presently lack sufficient stability to make the necessary commitment.
We now offer a drop-in meditation class at the Tucson Vet Center (3055 N. 1st Ave.) on Monday evenings, 6 – 7:30 pm. This class may be perfect for people looking for basic instruction in mindfulness meditation and/or MBSR graduates who want to keep their practice alive.
