Day and evening sessions of our popular 8-week course in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) begin in January 2018 at our beautiful campus in West Hartford, CT.
MBSR is an 8-week program that provides you with tools to help you cultivate greater mindfulness in your day-to-day life. Each session is highly participatory, and the training encompasses a wide array of mindfulness practices, including sitting and walking meditation, mindful eating, and mindful communication.
Two decades of published research indicates that the majority of people who complete the MBSR course report:
- Increased well-being and happiness
- Less stress and anxiety
- Strengthened immune system
- Less emotional reactivity
- Greater focus and cognitive flexibility
- Greater empathy and compassion
- Lasting decreases in physical and psychological symptoms
- Reductions in pain levels and an enhanced ability to cope with pain
MBSR is for everyone. The only requirement is the desire for greater awareness, balance, ease, and happiness. Scholarships and professional fellowships are available. For complete course information, visit us at www.copperbeechinstitute.org/mbsr-courses/.
