What is MBSR?

MBSR is an 8-week training program that helps us better understand how stress plays out in our day to day lives and how mindfulness can facilitate a more measured response to our stress reaction.

Mindfulness is a basic human quality, a way of learning to pay attention to whatever is happening in your life. Allowing you a greater sense of connection to your life inwardly and outwardly.

What is included in the eight week MBSR course?

  • Recognising the present moment
  • Perception and creative responding
  • Stress reactivity: the ways we often cope by escape or denial
  • Stress response techniques to situations and experiences
  • Applying mindfulness
  • Practicing mindfulness in everyday life
