Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Program

Founded by Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn in 1979, the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program is an evidence-based secular (nonreligious) intensive mindfulness meditation training program. Since the beginning, MBSR has been at the forefront of scientific research revealing that those who practice mindfulness-based practices experience an enhanced sense of well-being within the challenges faced in everyday life.
