This is an opportunity for you to hear everything you need to know about what the full 8-week class Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction might be like. This orientation is a required step prior to taking Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, but is not an obligation to take the class. Mindfulness is a way to bring health, well-being, and vibrancy to our lives. This 8-week class was originated by Jon Kabat-Zinn and is supported by 40 years of research.
