Classes
A Walk in the Park
Walking Meditation or Mindful Walking is the practice of learning to be aware of the sensations and movements of your body as you move through the world around you, and to
take time to be aware of the sights, sounds, smells that surround us every minute.
The next walk will be announced soon.
MBSR - Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction
Coming in February 2022, SMI will be hosting the original Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) curriculum developed over 40 years ago by Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn at the University of Massachusetts Medical School. As potent and effective as ever, this evidence-based program, taught internationally in hospitals and communities, is the best-researched mindfulness technique in the world, boasting hundreds of clinically proven health benefits. For questions please contact MBSR instructor Lisa Patterson at lisaeverspatterson@gmail.com. For more information and to register, click here.
