Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction -

Virtual

In the MBSR Distance Learning course, participants “meet” with their instructor and classmates weekly via web conference from wherever they may be.

Sessions start the week of September 11, 2023.

This program will be conducted virtually via Zoom!

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction -

In Person

Offered at Duke since 1998, our program invites participants to practice present moment awareness, deep relaxation, and gentle movement. Through the use of these techniques, a person learns to discover and observe his or her reactions to life’s stressors and to choose how to respond. 

Sessions start the week of September 11, 2023, at the Duke Integrative Medicine Center or Cary Presbyterian Church.

"This experience has been transformative and has shown me a path to live in a different, better way. Our world would be a kinder, gentler place if more people were open to the practices of mindfulness and mediation." January 2023 MBSR Program Participant.
