October 16 @ 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm
Mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) is an evidence-based course developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn over 40 years ago at UMass Medical School. It is highly effective at helping people manage stress, pain and illness, as well as finding more joy, ease and insight into one’s life.
This eight-week class will be taught by Joyce McLaren, PhD, who is a trained MBSR instructor, has been a ZCD member for over four years and currently serves on the ZCD Board of Directors. Along with her meditation and mindfulness expertise, Joyce’s joyful, lively, and kind energy creates an experience for her students that is at once supportive and enlivening.
