Reduction Program©
Personalized for
Individuals or Groups
Mindfulness meditation is
an invitation – an opportunity – to cultivate the richness
and beauty of your life with full awareness and acceptance.
Meditation can be thought of as the art of awakening.
Through the mastery of this art, it is possible to learn new
ways to develop greater calmness, clarity and insight in
facing and embracing all of life’s experiences.
Mindfulness is now being
recognized as a highly cost effective choice for
comprehensive health care as well as a very powerful tool in
dealing with stress and chronic pain. Thirty years of
published research indicate the majority of people who
complete a Stress Reduction Program report:
-
Reductions in pain
levels and increased skills in coping with long term
pain
-
Significant and
lasting decrease in physical symptoms and psychological
symptoms
-
Greater vitality and
joy for living
-
A more relaxed state
-
An ability to cope
effectively with stress
Simple Serenity Stress
Reduction Program is an 8-week course taken in addition to
any medical treatment being received. It is designed to
complement any challenging life situation from everyday
stress to serious medical diagnoses. While most 8-week
courses are taught in a hospital setting, this offering is
for individuals or small groups who prefer a more private
setting. In this program, there is time for individual
concerns and an opportunity to design a personalized stress
reduction approach to one’s life situation.
This eight week, 11
session program is offered four times per year: Fall,
Winter, Spring, and Summer. Assessment interviews and
enrollment begin two months prior to each teaching cycle.
This highly participatory, practical course includes:
-
Guided instruction in
mindfulness meditation practices

Inquiry exercises to
enhance awareness in everyday life

Individually tailored
instruction
