Learning to practice mindfulness provides a way of relating directly with whatever is happening in your life It's a way of taking charge of your life by consciously and systematically noticing and responding to your own stress, pain, challenges, and demands in way that allows you to live better.

This starts with cultivating present-moment attention in an open, nonjudgmental way. Our program is nonsectarian, based on scientific study, and in harmony with any faith-based tradition.
