What to Expect
You are guided in how to pay attention to what arises in daily and class practice; to meet and explore challenges. MBSR cultivates the ability to pay attention in an open, non-judgmental way to your surroundings and what is contained in the present moment.
Participating in the Prancing Peacock MBSR program requires an ongoing commitment to yourself. You will be asked to attend all classes, including one all-day weekend retreat, and to practice daily home assignments.
These practices together with group dialog allow participants to relate differently to stresses in their lives and in fact, relate differently to each moment of their lives.
Participants receive a 75-page workbook with short readings and audio recordings to guide each week’s home practice.
The Prancing Peacock MBSR program is challenging and life-affirming. It is a safe, supportive, and deeply engaging environment.
