Hello Friends and Colleagues and Comrades.
I can testify to the potency of this work and the efficacy of the instructors. Tucson is very fortunate to have such skilled and enlightened teachers. I had little idea, outside of an abstract understanding, of how powerful mindfulness training can be from the moment you wake until slumber arrives. You’re gonna like the way you smile!
Here is information regarding the upcoming program. As many of you know, we do a lot of outreach and scholarship via the “Mindful Veteran’s Project”, AND these programs are open to anyone in the community. The blend of veterans, veteran’s family members, people who work with veterans, and civilians is perhaps one of the components that makes our MBSR program especially unique and increasingly relevant- as southern Arizona currently has the highest number of veterans relocating here. We appreciate your support in getting the word out to ALL who may benefit from this important health education. Happy Spring!
Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction
MBSR is a well-regarded mind/body skills training protocol that has been used successfully for over 30 years to help people deal with stress, pain, and illness. The program emphasizes experiential practices- both within the classroom and at home, for the duration of the course. It is through these practices that participants learn to harness the power self-awareness and develop skills of self-regulation. Experiential practice, a strong didactic foundation, and a highly supportive environment are the 3 pillars of MBSR. For many participants, it is a unique and life-affirming educational experience that has enormous practical value.
