Winter is a great time to develop mindfulness skills.  MBSR is a course designed to realize the stress-reducing benefits of mindfulness, and improve overall quality of life.  An array of meditation approaches are introduced and practiced over an eight week period.  The classroom setting is supportive, non judgmental, and empirically based.  You can re-take the course for 1/2 price, and spouses, partners or immediate family may also use the 1/2 price benefit.  Two scholarships are available each term for people who could not otherwise take the class.  E-mail Geri to check on availability and eligibility ahead of time.
