About this Event

Learn how to develop the practical skills and techniques that can help you cultivate positivity, inner strength and peace, which can be useful in times of difficulty, stress, illness and pain.

The UAMS MBSR Course is an intensive eight-week, nine-session training in mindfulness awareness. Classes meet weekly for about two hours and for an all-day session towards the end of the course. The all-day session allows participants to immerse themselves more deeply in the practices of mindfulness meditation and mindful movement. The MBSR course will enable participants to systematically deploy these tools as well as to mindfully explore healthier relationships with the day-to-day challenges and demands of life. We offer a peaceful, safe and supportive learning environment for all program participants.

Here’s What You Can Expect

Guided mindfulness meditation practices

Cancelation Policy

Participants who withdraw prior to the second class will receive a full refund minus $50 for the course materials and registration fee. We are happy to transfer you to a different class if you have a change in schedule. There is no refund after the second class.

Note: We will require a minimum of 10 registrants per MBSR class to hold the course. Classes with fewer than 10 will be canceled, or at the discretion of the instructor. We also limit the class to up to 20 registrants due to online class structure/time limitations. Acceptance will be on a first-come-first-served basis. Registrants beyond the maximum will be placed on a waiting list and will be informed if someone withdraws from the class prior to the start of the program.
