Mindfulness Foundations
Mindfulness Foundations offers a less intensive live class and home assignment load than a heavier weight course like MBSR. It was developed for those who are exceptionally over-committed, and cannot attend a more robust program.
Your Experience
Reduced Stress
Transform living your life with greater awareness, focus, and kindness for yourself and others.
Teacher Access
Teacher access during class and through email -- even after the course is finished.
Group Connection
Learning with a supportive group of fellow participants throughout the course.
Course Curriculum
The program includes interactive engagement during 30-minute weekly live online sessions, didactic information about the science of contemplative practice, and guided meditation.
Recordings of the live classes are available for one week, and are then replaced with the next week's recordings to encourage participants keep up with the curriculum.
Home assignments are 30 minutes every day, six days per week (not on class days), comprised from 15 minutes guided meditation recordings and 15 minutes other specific assignments based on the new topic for the week.
