Monthly Reflection

All growth is a leap in the dark, a spontaneous, unpremeditated act without benefit of experience.

 ~ Henry Miller 

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction

Mindfulness is a way of relating directly to whatever is happening in your life, meeting your experience skillfully and with an openheart.  Mindfulness training is an antidote to the habitual response patterns that lock us into routines that undermine emotional and physical health.

Participants in the progrm begin to develop the capacity to be present, awake, and aware of the preciousness of life as it unfolds moment to moment.  Whether you come to class to manage physical challenges, to support medical treatments and enhance opportunities for healing, to deal with difficulties in work or relationships, or to enhance capacities for happiness, mindfulness is the master skill we teach.
