About this event

Health • Personal health

We all carry stress to some degree. Whether it stems from illness, chronic pain, financial pressures, strained relationships, caregiving responsibilities, work related challenges, or the constant barrage of distressing news—the sources are endless. Even everyday minor challenges can trigger overwhelming reactivity when they hit a body and mind already stretched thin.

But here's what's remarkable: we all possess extraordinary capacities for resilience, creativity, and skillful response to whatever life brings our way. The key lies in mindfulness.

Rediscover your natural resilience

Mindfulness is compassionate curiosity toward what's arising in this moment. It's a natural human ability that many of us have lost touch with, often without realizing it. The good news? This capacity can be recovered, cultivated, and strengthened.

Is it time to reclaim this superpower? You already have everything you need: a mind, a heart, a breathing body, and the gift of this present moment.

A well-proven path: MBSR

The Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) course offers a well-established, 8-week journey toward greater peace, creativity and resilience. Developed in 1979 by Jon Kabat-Zinn, PhD, at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center, this program has stood the test of time.

The MBSR approach combines:

  • Guided mindfulness meditations
  • Gentle movement practices
  • Reflective inquiry
  • Personal exploration
  • Supportive community

This powerful protocol, refined now over decades, has transformed thousands of lives worldwide and earned validation through hundreds of scientific research studies.
