Another Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) session kicks off in September 2025 on Thursday Evenings! MBSR has been researched for over 40 years and consistently delivers benefits associated with increased self-awareness, and attentional and emotional regulation. In addition, outcomes have included reductions in symptoms for various physical and behavioral health conditions such as stress, anxiety and depression, chronic pain and hypertension.
