If you are an English speaker living in Hamburg and looking for a way to manage stress, increase mindfulness, and cultivate greater resilience, then MBSR could be the course for you.

Course Description:What is mindfulness and how can it help deal with stress and pain?
Mindfulness is a path that teaches us to experience ourselves and the world in a vivid and immediate way. Through mindfulness we deal more consciously with our body, our thoughts, feelings and behavioral patterns. By developing mindfulness we can reduce inner stress and develop new ways of living daily life.
Through continuous practice, participants in an MBSR course learn to quiet the mind and it is possible to experience periods of deep inner stillness and relaxation.
