Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction for Students
This 8-week evidence-based workshop blends contemporary neuroscience with ancient meditation practices, providing a tool with which to re-shape your relationship to experience. Practicing mindfulness has been shown to diminish stress and improve physical and mental wellbeing.
Meyer Recreation Barn
Bennington College
Meets Wednesday evenings (except Halloween) in the Meyer Rec Barn upstairs dance studio. This curriculum was developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn of the University of Massachussetts Medical Center over 30 years ago, and has grown to be the most studied and widely used stress reduction program around the world. While the practice of mindfulness is thousands of years old, recent advances in the sciences have been able to show empirical evidence of improvements in physical and mental health with its use, and begun to elucidate some of the causal relationships.
