Learn Mindfulness in 8 weeks

MBSR is a structured complementary medicine program that consists of 2h sessions once per week for 8 weeks plus a half-day retreat during a weekend day.

MBSR has 35 years of research behind it and is recognized as the gold standard for mental and physical health in the field. It can lead to measurable changes in brain regions associated with memory, emotional balance, empathy and stress resilience as well as improving the immune response in eight weeks. The course is for anyone who wants to reduce work, family or health-related stress and to bring a greater sense of balance and meaning to their lives and also to manage challenges more skillfully.

Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction brings the principles of mindfulness meditation into everyday life by teaching specific skills and practices that can be incorporated into daily life to help break cycles of anxiety, stress, unhappiness and exhaustion.

Those who have taken this user-friendly course report feeling more engaged in their work and relationships, with fewer symptoms of stress and also an increased sense of authority in their lives. Come and see how this inspiring eight week course can help you develop more mental, emotional, physical and psychological resilience and well-being.

This highly experiential, participatory and practical course involves:
– Guided instruction in mindfulness meditation practices
– Gentle stretching and mindful yoga
– Group dialogue and mindful communication exercises aimed at enhancing awareness in everyday life
– Daily home assignments (aprox. 20 – 40min daily)
– Handouts and audio guided meditations and dedicated support in case you miss a class.
