Graduates

Graduate programs are designed for those who have already completed an 8-week MBSR program and would like to further develop mindfulness in their lives.

STARTING WHERE YOU ARE

This class is dedicated to discovering the path of freedom inherent in each of us. We do not have to wait to be free or postpone happiness for a later date. We can choose love and happiness even in the midst of turmoil or chaos. We can learn to trust life’s processes and free ourselves from past aggression, letting go of fear and opening to acceptance and forgiveness. The text for this course will be Jack Kornfield’s “No Time Like The Present.”

The focus for this program will include:

Feeling free to be ourselves
Choosing love on a daily basis
Developing trust
Embracing uncertainty
Showing compassion
Finding joy

Riding The Waves

This program will focus on dealing with the difficulties that arise in life. It takes skill to maneuver through challenges, courage to move into pain, and determination to keep getting up over and over when we have been knocked down. We can also learn to be more empathetic in our interaction with others, acknowledging that they, too, are “fighting a great battle (Ram Dass).” Using Pema Chodron’s book, “When Things Fall Apart” along with the wisdom of others, we will explore ways to traverse life’s storms and flow more easily through our daily lives.

The focus for this program will be:

Intimacy with fear
Meeting life face to face
Loneliness
Compassion
Choicelessness
Relaxing into discomfort
Following your path

“I just wanted to let you know how much I am enjoying this class. I don't know if it is because this is the 3rd class I am taking with you, or the subject matter or the class members but this has been the best experience for me. I feel more open to share and talk. I find the discussions enlightening and challenging at the same time. I find myself thinking about what was discussed in the prior class and thinking about follow up topics to discuss in the upcoming class. I practice my mindful meditation more than before and find that it is helping me to deal with my stress and anxiety.
The only regret is - I wish this class was longer than 6 weeks!!!”
