8-Week Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) Course – January/February

Join us for an 8-week Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) course designed to help you develop greater awareness, reduce stress, and find calm in the midst of daily life.

This course will include:

• Weekly 2.5-hour sessions every Friday, featuring guided meditations, body scans, and mindful movement
• Home practice assignments between sessions
• A full day of mindfulness practice between weeks 6 and 7

What is MBSR?
MBSR is a structured, evidence-based program developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn that uses mindfulness practices to foster greater awareness of the present moment and explore the body-mind connection. MBSR helps participants explore ways to manage stress and navigate daily life experiences with more clarity and compassion.

Who can join?
This course is open to anyone, regardless of prior mindfulness experience. Whether you're new to mindfulness or looking to deepen your practice, you'll find a supportive environment to explore and cultivate awareness.

To ensure that this course is a good fit for you, a brief pre-interview is required before registration. This conversation will help us discuss your interests and expectations and ensure that the course meets your needs. Please get in touch via [email protected] to schedule your pre-interview.

Course Details:

• Dates: Fridays, January 10th to February 28th, 2025 (8 Fridays in total)
• Time: 10:00 AM – 12:30 PM
• Location: Dajaraya Center, Berlin
• Cost: This course is being offered on a donation basis, with a suggested minimum donation of €150 to cover the essential costs of running the course (including room rental, materials and other expenses). Typically, an 8-week MBSR course costs significantly more (between 350€ and 400€ in Berlin), but this course is part of my certification process and I want to make this offering as accessible as possible.

While €150 is the suggested minimum, please feel free to contribute more or less depending on your financial situation. Every contribution is appreciated, and the most important thing is that you’re able to participate in the course.

• How to Participate:
  Spaces are limited!
