Mindfulness

---

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction offers practical skills to cultivate a different relationship to stress while facilitating a deeper understanding of oneself, including thoughts, feelings and reactions. Furthermore, research has shown that training the mind to be present can improve attention, concentration and working memory over time. It has also been shown to improve resiliency and emotion regulation while helping to foster kindness and acceptance towards oneself and others.

Sessions include a variety of meditation practices, gentle mindful movement practices such as mindful walking, mindful compassion and self compassion meditation practices, reflective exercises, and discussions on stress.

Those who wish to learn skills to manage stress, and who wish to increase their overall well-being.

The workshops will be guided by Christiane Roy.

8 weekly sessions of 2 hours each, plus one orientation session for a total of 17 hours over 9 weeks.

Please note that workshops for this session are offered in French although a request can be made for an English session at another time if interest arises (minimum of 8 participants).
