MINDFULNESS-BASED STRESS MANAGEMENT:  Mondays and Wednesdays 10:00- 11:00 a.m., Tuesdays and Thursdays 2:00-2:00 p.m.

 

Mindfulness is the practice of being in the present, not the past or future.  Use of mindfulness-based techniques is linked to reductions in anxiety, physical pain symptoms, and depression.  This psycho-educational workshop will use graduated experiences and repeated practice to cultivate a greater capacity to focus mindfully on the present.  These techniques can be an important component of stress management, allowing you to live your life with less turmoil.  These workshops are FREE and we encourage you to attend as many as you wish.
