Our next session starts January 16th, 2024!

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) workshops for members of the UO community will be offered regularly for a nominal fee.

MBSR is an empirically-supported 8-week psycho-educational group intervention that involves systematic and intensive training in mindfulness meditation as a health intervention. MBSR is about developing a new relationship to stress related to chronic illness, psychological conditions, and everyday distress. By developing an ability to be non-judgmental, curious, compassionate, discerning, and present, participants enhance psychological well-being and change embedded health attitudes and behaviors. MBSR is a structured pathway to relieve distress and increase well-being. Participants should be prepared for a highly participatory and practical course - and an environment that encourages deep engagement and inquiry.

We are pleased to announce our next MBSR workshop, taught by Megan Lipsett - a qualified instructor - will be held from January 16th to March 5th, 2024! Two info sessions will be held, Jan. 4th and 9th . If you are interested in MBSR, please sign up to attend one of these.

The fee for attending will be offset for UO affiliates by stipends from the Center for the Science and Practice of Well-Being and the Center for Translational Neuroscience.

We will host half-day and full-day retreats that teach meditative, relaxation, or yoga practices. Check back for a schedule.
