This retreat is a training in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), a modality that was developed in 1979 at the Stress Reduction Clinic at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center by Jon Kabat-Zinn. Since its inception, the majority of 15,000 program graduates report:
  • coping more effectively with both short and long-term stress;
  • greater self-respect, energy, and enthusiasm for life; and
  • lasting improvements in physical and psychological well-being.
The primary aim of MBSR is the cultivation and integration of mindfulness in everyday life. The daily format of our retreat is designed to optimize the benefits of both large and small group interactions and solitary periods of silent mindfulness meditation practices. We inquire into our personal experience of meditation and its implication in our daily lives.

Come prepared to rediscover the healthy equanimity that lies beneath life's turbulent changes, to find strength, balance, and renewal.

Melissa Blacker and Florence Meleo-Meyer are senior teachers in the Stress Reduction Program and codirectors of MBSR professional development programs at the Center for Mindfulness at University of Massachusetts Medical School.

This awesome course is endorsed by the renown Omega Institute and is definitely worth looking into if and when you are in the area. Until then enjoy a conversation between Melissa and me when we discover through her description of the course the importance of mindfulness, more than a new age phrase but a meaningful method to processing life from one moment to the next for deeper integration and the grounded wisdom mindfulness yields.
