Welcome to Community Mindfulness Project's 6-Week Introduction to Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) Program with Lisa Sheehan.

Our September/October 2024 program is in full swing and our Winter 2025 program is now open for registration!

Wednesdays, January 8th - February 12th - 7:00PM - 8:30PM on zoom.

What to expect:

Join our facilitator, Lisa Sheehan, MA, MBSR, .b, Deep Play for Kids, this Winter 2025 on Zoom, for an introduction to the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program created at UMASS Medical School by Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn in 1979.

With concepts and practices drawn directly from the original 8-week MBSR program, this is an experiential, introspective program that examines the science behind mindfulness, the psychology and physiology of stress, and encompasses a variety of mindfulness techniques, including meditation.

Explore how mindfulness supports present moment awareness of sensations, thoughts, and emotions - building internal resources to manage stress and our responses.

No previous experience is necessary to participate in this 6-week Intro to MBSR program.
