My Two Cents
I had been thinking I was taking some sort of meditation workshop. It was so much more, emphasizing not only mindful breathing, but yoga, deep relaxation, and good self care in general. I've meditated for a long time, but the course really helped me regain my "beginner's mind." I bring a renewed inquisitiveness to my meditation since beginning the course. I can't imagine whom I wouldn't recommend the course to. And certainly a way to introduce meditation to my less touchy-feely, spiritually-minded, new-agey friends. It's science and data driven. I just stress the proven health benefits.

I took the MBSR class in the Fall and have integrated many of the skills I learned in my job and my personal life--basically a very rewarding experience. I also want to say that I enjoyed the experience and authenticity of the leader, Mary Beth Stern.

Virtual MBSR class
I am extremely happy that I signed up for the MBSR class. I wanted a way to manage my stress and anxiety, and this class gave me tools to do that plus so much more. The teacher was very calming, authentic, and very good at what she does. The class itself felt like a safe space, and we built a true community. I honestly think I will take the class again in the future.

Mindfullness Based Stress Reduction
The Mindfullness Based Stress Reduction Program didn't really work for me as an experienced meditator. It was fairly shallow with little new information, and VERY chatty. Two things that didn't really work: 1) The leader, although obviously very kind and conscientious, tended to restate comments made by class members, instead of letting their statements stand on their own; and 2) We were forced into Breakout Rooms each class session, and because the groups were usually 3 people (sometimes only two!), participants felt pressure to speak whether or not they had anything to say. I got tired of simply stating I didn't have anything to share, or trying to come up with something I didn't heartfully want to say. Overall, I didn't pick up any energy from it despite giving it 5 weeks (beyond the reimbursement point). After that I just decided it wasn't worth my time and energy.

Hi, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are sorry to hear that the program didn't work for you. MBSR is an experiential course so everyone has a different experience and there is no wrong or right experience. We want to thank you for all your detailed feedback and appreciate you sharing it with us. Warmly, The Mindful Leader Team
