Why Take the MBSR Course?
Are you looking for an immersive experience into the practice of mindfulness? Created by Jon Kabat-Zinn in 1979, MBSR is an eight week program designed to transform your relationship to stress, improve your health, and increase enjoyment of life.
Since 1979, the Center for Mindfulness has been dedicated to investigating and understanding the effectiveness of MBSR through pilot investigations, small studies, and large-scale research funded by the National Institutes of Health. Since the inception of the Stress Reduction Clinic, MBSR research at UMass and other academic medical centers has shown consistent, reliable, and reproducible demonstrations of major and clinically relevant reductions in medical and psychological symptoms across a wide range of medical diagnoses over the weight weeks of the MBSR program.

Mindfulness is simply being aware of what is happening right now without wishing
it were different; enjoying the pleasant without holding on when it changes (which it will);
being with the unpleasant without fearing it will always be this way (which it won’t).
