This fall we are combining our Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) courses to offer an 8-week course that offers the best of both programs. Both courses combine mindfulness practices with cognitive behavioral strategies to address the common causes of human suffering such as stress, chronic pain, depression and anxiety. This is a skill building course, and although it can be therapeutic, it is not therapy. The course consists of eight weekly 2 hour classes and half day retreat. Attending this course as a participant is the first step in learning to become an MBSR or MBCT teacher. Participants receive:

  • 20 total hours of instruction in MBSR/MBCT, which includes carefully sequenced mindfulness exercises, guided meditations, written exercises, group discussions, and mindful movement;
  • A workbook and weekly handouts to reinforce the learning and provide support and reminders for home practice
  • Weekly homework assignments;
  • Teacher support between sessions
  • Access to all meditation audio recordings
When
Co-taught by Trained MBSR teacher Erik Hulse and Certified MBCT teacher Tracy Ochester, PsyD, RYT-200, this combined course will meet via Zoom eight Wednesdays from 7-9 pm US Central Time October 14, 21 & 28, November 4, 11, & 18 (no class 11/25), December 2 & 9 + ½ day retreat Saturday November 14th, 9 am to 1 pm.
