What to expect
6-Week Program: Sept 23 - Oct 28, 2026
Wednesdays 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM via Zoom
Join our expert facilitator, Lisa Sheehan, this Autumn 2026, on Zoom, for an Introduction to the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program created at UMass Medical School by Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn in 1979. With concepts and practices drawn directly from the original 8-week MBSR program, this is an experiential, introspective program that examines the science behind mindfulness, the psychology and physiology of stress, and encompasses a variety of mindfulness techniques, including meditation. Explore how mindfulness supports present moment awareness of sensations, thoughts, and emotions - building internal resources to manage stress and our responses.
No previous experience is necessary to participate in this 6-week Intro to MBSR program. All are welcome. Registration is open and space is limited.
Because this is an interactive experience and for participants’ privacy, sessions are not recorded.
