Breathe into 2019 with compassion & gentleness!

Everyone and their dog is telling us to breathe, be mindful and start meditating? Why?

Because the evidence tells us that it works (see below)!

The very practice of sitting in stillness or moving with our breath has the potential to change the way our brain experiences suffering, stress and adversity.

Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is a rigorously studied approach to teaching secular Mindfulness. Over an 8 week period, we explore the basics of meditation and mindful movements. We also dive into your stresses and triggers, and then though mindful inquiry, identify strategies to address them. 

It's soul filling work that has the capacity to change your brain (it's true!!!) and it really CAN help you to respond to stress, pain, challenging moments, suffering and more.

The course begins Tuesday, January 29th, from 6:30-9pm and runs for 8 weeks (no class March 12th). Included in the price ($425) is a full day silent retreat, 26 clinical hours of self care & learning, and a 50 page comprehensive handout!

The MBSR practice is about changing life patterns. It’s a commitment to yourself and to your group, which is why it’s so beautiful and effective! 

"But it’s still too much $$!"  I get that $425 is a lot of money, particularly right after the holidays. If you have extended covereage, the course is covered under social work counselling. I also have a sliding scale for those in need and you can pay in instalments if that works best for you and your family.

If you have any further questions or would just like to chat, please let me know - I’d love to chat!
