Basic Principles of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction
Tuesday, Sept. 16, 4:15-6:00 pm
 
Back by popular demand! Jim French will be offering another session of his highly acclaimed coaching in MBSR technique.
All members and volunteers are encouraged to attend this class to find out more about this evidence-based technique for reducing stress.
In this introductory class, Jim French (son of active Ashby Village members Bill and Tari) will present the basic principles of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction ("MBSR").  This class will serve as an introduction to an 8 week program using the standard MBSR curriculum, a combination of instruction, mindfulness practice and discussion. MBSR was one of the earliest, and now most widespread, mindfulness programs to make its way into the American mainstream.
 

About the 8 week program:
Starting Sept. 23, we will meet from 4:15 – 6:00 pm each Tuesday. 
After the 6th class, we will have an all-day retreat on Saturday, Nov, 1, from 9:00 am – 4:30 pm.  
Participants will be asked to try to practice mindfulness for a minimum of 15-20 minutes most days, and to attend all classes plus the daylong retreat.   Preregistration will be required (limited to 20 participants).  There will be a $30 materials fee to cover a workbook with an audio CD of guided mindfulness practices, and other handouts.
 
When:  Tuesdays, 4:15-6:00 pm starting Sept.23 - Nov. 11
