Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) Collaborative Program
MBSR, Mindfulness-Bases Stress Reduction, developed in 1979 by Jon Kabat-Zinn, is the gold standard in mindfulness training programs, with evidence based outcomes supported by decades of research.
We are delighted to offer you this comprehensive, in depth training program in mindfulness practices which includes exploring the science of stress, and the benefits of applying mindfulness in daily life.
It consists of eight weekly sessions, 2.5 hours long each (the first and eighth sessions 3 hours) and a day of mini-retreat. It is preceded by a mandatory Orientation session during which you meet the teachers, get a taste of the practices, and consider the pros and cons of the program. Individual one to one interviews follow this to make sure that the program will be safe and in line with your expectations. Mindfulness practices include meditation, yoga, and inquiry. No prior experience in meditation is needed. This is not a medical treatment of any kind, but research studies over the last 40 years document benefits in the physical and psychological wellbeing of participants, as well as improvements in coping with stress and overall happiness.
The MBSR Collaborative Program offers a unique experience with two fully Certified MBSR Teachers, teaching together, and the group size restricted to 8 to 16 participants. Our program is particularly suited to those who want a small group experience and access to the teachers for one-on-one support.
Weekly classes 2.5 hours long. Extra time is allowed for Class 1 and Class 8, up to 30 minutes. The program consists of a mandatory Orientation session, 8 weekly sessions and a full day mini-retreat generally on the Saturday between class 5 and 6. Please note that we work closely with each participant to keep them fully engaged should they be unable to attend a class.
Cost: $600, which includes all 10 sessions, the full Day of Mindfulness, all course materials, guided practice recordings and one to one support. Information regarding scholarship positions and payment plans available upon application.

“My anxiety almost prevented me from attending the 8 week MBSR program with Irena Danys but after the very first class my anxiety turned to intrigue and excitement. Words cannot describe the personal transformation that takes place and the awareness you gain from completing this program.”
