About this Program
Following the model developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn, sessions are two and one-half hours long and are held once a week on Wednesday mornings from 9:30 to 12:00 noon for eight weeks with a full day retreat at week six or seven from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m (27 hours total in-class time).
This program can change your life. Many who have completed a MBSR program report marvelous shifts in their ability to cope skillfully with life's challenges. They report long-term improvements in dealing with physical and emotional pain. And as you might expect, such significant and lasting shifts require disciplined effort and determination.
You will be provided with four CDs and handouts for daily 45 to 60 minute practice sessions at home and are encouraged to attend all eight sessions and the daylong retreat. Change in one's live, even healthy change, requires effort. The group environment and weekly meetings will certainly support your efforts, but, ultimately, success in this program depends upon your commitment to yourself and your willingness to do the necessary work. We will help support you every step of the way as you make changes, changes that can lead to less stress and more calm and centeredness in your life.
The Cost of the Program
The fee for this eight week program is on a sliding scale, based upon ability to pay, and ranges from $250 to $500. You set your own fee based upon your financial situation and ability to pay, no questions asked. Costs include four 45 minute training CDs (i.e. Body Scan, Yoga I, Guided Meditation, Yoga II) and weekly homework materials, educational handouts and booklets.
It is my sincere hope that anyone interested in participating in this program can do so regardless of ability to pay. Therefore, I have established a fund for partial scholarships. If you would like to be considered for a scholarship or feel moved to contribute to this fund, please drop me a note at: info@BeMindful.org.
