Increase Resiliency. Reduce Stress. Transform Your Life.
This 8-week Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction course teaches the principles and practice of mindfulness, leading to increased focus, self & situational awareness, and emotional regulation, while decreasing stress, improving well-being, and heightening effectiveness in all aspects of life. The MBSR curriculum was developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center over 30 years ago, and research shows that eight weeks of MBSR training rewires your neural networks, reduces cortisol levels, improves cognition, memory & executive function, and results in extensive physiological benefits, creating a healthier, more resilient, productive and peaceful you.
This course’s experiential sessions teach the principles of MBSR through mixed modalities, including several types of mindfulness meditation, awareness-building activities, group inquiry and discussion, readings, and mindful movement. Casual or business attire is appropriate.
Over the course of the program, you’ll acquire a toolkit for integrating mindfulness into your daily life in a variety of ways, including becoming a mindful, compassionate leader. You’ll also learn about the neuroscience and scientific evidence behind mindfulness, stress reactivity and stress response cycles. The benefits include:
Reduced stress
Improved ability to shift your relationship to the stressors in life
Increased attentional control and focus
Enhanced productivity
Improved sleep patterns
Reduced anxiety
Increased ability to manage your emotions
Increased awareness—self and situational—to enhance your effectiveness and ability to lead strategically in life
