8 Week Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction Course

     The program consists of eight weekly, 2 ¼-hour classes and a one-day retreat (on a Sunday) between sessions six and seven. You will be asked to attend all classes, including the one-day weekend retreat, and to practice home assignments for 30 minutes a day.

     Mindful in Memphis gives offerings in the spirit of generosity. We want you to be able to participate regardless of  financial situation. Therefore the fee only covers out of pocket the costs of the three in person sessions and the all day retreat. The fee does not include any compensation for the 30 hours of live instruction. We give our time freely and hope you will consider offering generously within your means. Any offerings of support above the required fee in tax deductible. Contributions can be made before the class begins when reserving your ticket or at the conclusion. 

This highly participatory, supportive and structured program will provide you with:

• Guided instruction in mindfulness meditation practices
• Gentle stretching and mindful yoga
• Group dialogue and mindful communication exercises to enhance awareness in everyday life
• Individually-tailored instruction
• Daily home assignments
• Home practice materials including guided mindfulness practice MP3s
