Mindfulness is the art of knowing how to become present in our lives. This concept is so simple yet also so very difficult. It is about knowing when we shift into autopilot and stop being present in our lives. It is about cultivating our attention.

The practice of mindfulness teaches us to wake up and see things as they are right here and right now. 

Course Details:

We will practice mindfulness in many forms, and there will be the opportunity for small-group sharing and asking questions. After each class, you will receive a set of daily home practices for you to experience in your own time and in the privacy of your own home. These daily exercises will guide you into a deeper and more unique MBSR experience. You must command a strong commitment to sticking with the course and the capability to practice every day.

We will acquire skills to be more focused in our day-to-day lives and learn how to pay attention in a more clarified and healthy way. Focus and attention are at the very core of mindfulness. We will use the Zoom video conference platform to conduct our classes. You do not need to have an account with Zoom for this program, only access to high-speed internet.

You will receive an acceptance email, including an invitation, where you will find a link that will directly prompt you into our Zoom session. Nothing else to it! It will be very simple.

In case you miss a class, you have the option to take it again later in the week. There will always be two opportunities to take each class; just reach out to me to let me know when works best for your schedule.

My classes are free of charge as it is part of my personal research program.

A Certificate of Completion will be offered at the end of the program to the participants who will have attended the full program of eight MBSR classes.

The only requirements asked of the participants is that I ask everyone to commit to attending each and every one of the 8 MBSR online classes and, upon their completion, answer a few questions in an anonymous survey at the end. All of this will be done through Zoom in a very simplistic way. These questions will examine the individual's experience within the program, and the privacy of the participant's response is completely respected.

What is required of you during the course:

• Participate to all eight classes, and the retreat class (all of these are on line)

• Practicing daily approximately one hour.

• Stay curious about this live exploration.

• Stick with it for 8 weeks.

What technology you will need:

• High-speed-internet-connection

• Laptop or desktop with speaker, microphone and video capability (very important)

• Please do not use phone or tablet as it is difficult to follow the session on a very small screen.

NOTE: If you are not technology savvy no worries. We will cover technology information at the orientation class. Many people, like some of us, are discovering Zoom during these trouble times, so no stress!
