LEARN BY DOING

Mbsr is all about direct experience versus cognitive striving. You are encouraged to let your own practice corroborate the science instead of chasing the science, you become the 'laboratory' for research, you become the expert. Nothing to believe only to be open, intentional, committed to trying on the practice.

CULMINATION OF 40 YEARS IN THE FIELD

Diane Renz, MA, NPAF, LPC has led hundreds of people through the MBSR program, and thousands throughout the country have learned from her seminar speaking on the Science, Theory, & Practice of the MBSR program. She teaches individuals & organizations how to create healthy systems by training to build attentional resources & reduce stress. People walk away with user-friendly practical applications though her translation of the current science of mindfulness.

COHORT

The power of training with others exponentially accelerates our learning. Change becomes more possible when we we explore is safe but challenging group interaction. Here in MBSR we set the group norms for your safety so you can show up as you are and let yourself discover without someone else judging or impeding by trying give you advice. We trust in each other's inherent wisdom and create the environment to nurture that.
