Instructor: Susan Wilkes

A three‑week introduction to the foundational practices of Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR). Through guided meditation, gentle movement, and reflective inquiry, participants learn practical ways to meet stress with greater steadiness, clarity, and compassion. Each session offers simple, research‑supported tools for cultivating present moment awareness and responding—rather than reacting—to the challenges of daily life. This short course distills the heart of MBSR into an approachable format, providing practical tools for grounding and self‑regulation. No prior experience is needed. 

Dates: March 25, April 1, April 8
