Mindfulness for All: Monthly Circle
About this Event
Mindfulness for All
Adapted from Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction
Cohosted with Azrieli Centre and Collaborative Learning College at CAMH
Join us for a neuro-affirming mindfulness drop in open to all levels, beginners to experienced. This program draws on mindfulness techniques from the Mindfulness for All 8 week program. The mindfulness tools were developed in research at the CAMH Azrieli Adult Neurodevelopmental Centre. This is a chance practice some techniques and connect with others on the mindfulness path – exploring mindfulness in our own unique ways, together.
This program will be a chance to learn and practice these adapted mindfulness tools in an inclusive and neurodiversity-affirming setting that is open to beginners and experienced meditators alike.
The Mindfulness practices we will engage in have been developed over 10 years through research at the CAMH Azrieli Adult Neurodevelopmental Centre. The Azrieli Centre’s research on mindfulness with both caregivers as well as autistic adults has been adapted from the Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) curriculum with Sue Hutton, MSW, RSW (trained with Jon Kabat-Zinn in delivering MBSR) and Dr. Yona Lunsky’s research team.
This program happens in-person required registration.
