DEEPENING PRACTICE FOR MBSR GRADUATES
This course is offered to anyone who has graduated from an 8-week Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) course or equivalent.
​In this course, we review skills, meditations, and experiences learned in MBSR. Students are then guided to deepen their understanding through more advanced meditations and trainings.
This course focuses on:
-
​Reviewing and reinforcing the living of concepts and skills learned in the original MBSR course
-
​Deepening a sense of embodiment (living more and more in the body)
-
​Practicing techniques to uncover and disentangle from habitual thought patterns, beliefs and behaviors that keep us stuck or suffering (RAIN and other inquiry practices)
-
Working with practices designed to help open our hearts
-
​Honing communication skills to enhance connectedness
​
Tuition: $550, 8-week course includes 8 2.5-hour experiential sessions, a 6.5-hour daylong retreat, workbook, and several CDs of guided meditations. Some scholarship is available.

REVIEWS FROM DEEPENING PRACTICEÂ PARTICIPANTS
I have become more sensitive to taking another person’s perspective and also to considering their possible intentions. I have noticed that after meditating I am more calm and even-keeled, positive, strong, optimistic. I feel like I ruminate far less than before on emotionally-laden events.
~Arlene
One of the things I take away is the cultivation of space to feel and connect to my body through difficult emotions and uncertainty. I feel like I have gained access to a core, central voice of wisdom that is just waiting for me to access at any moment.
~Raisa
Going in I had no real expectations. But by the end of the course, I found my way of responding to my pain and disability had changed dramatically. And I was feeling better for it--physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
