Just as we train our body for physical health, we can also train our mind for mental health. Mindfulness is rooted in ancient wisdom, whereas cognitive-behavioral theory is based on modern psychological science – when combined they form the Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) program, which has been shown to reduce stress and improve well-being. This workshop offers a taste of some key MBCT themes through guided practices, experiential learning, and group discussion. Together we will ​learn to understand our attention, explore new ways of being, as well as respond skillfully to everyday life.
