This Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) course will have an information session on Tuesday, September 7/10 from 5:30 p.m. - 6:30 p.m. The course will happen from 5:30 p.m. - 7:30 p.m. on Tuesdays from September 28th until November 16th, 2010. A Day of Mindfulness will happen on Saturday, November 6, 2010 from 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. MBSR is an approach to self-care that can assist in managing stress, pain and illness. The practice of meditation is used to help people learn to focus awareness on body sensations, thoughts, and emotions in a nonjudgmental way. Through this practice, a person is given the opportunity to explore their inner world of mind/body, recognize and mobilize their inner psychological resources and take better care of the self. The course is modeled on the program developed by Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn at the Stress Reduction Clinic at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center. The course consists of eight weekly classes and one day-long class on a Saturday. It is designed to introduce Mindfulness practice as a way of reducing stress and developing greater balance, control, and fuller participation in your life. Mindfulness is a way of learning to relate directly to whatever is happening in your life, including the challenges of stress, pain, illness and everyday demands. In the course, you will practice skills to improve your ability to let go of the past, worry less about your future, and live more fully in the present. The course includes guided mindfulness meditations and mindful stretching/movement. All instruction is modified for each individual's needs. You are provided with daily assignments contained in two guided meditation CDs and weekly handouts. Courses are taught by trained instructors with backgrounds in Family and Marriage Therapy, Social Work, and Recreational Therapy. To view the CMHA Winnipeg Region privacy statement, click here.
