In this workshop, MBSR teacher David Gofman, MA, LPC will offer an introduction to mindfulness meditation, as well as an overview of what a participant might expect in an MBSR course.
Participants will experience the power of the present moment together, and will leave with a better understanding of common misconceptions about mindfulness, while gaining some practical tools to use with clients and in their daily lives.
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) was originally developed in the 1970’s by Dr. John Kabat-Zinn at UMASS Medical Center as a way to teach mindfulness meditation to people who have little or no experience with meditation practice. Over the past 40 years, MBSR has been established as the gold standard for teaching mindfulness meditation in medical and research communities in the west.
