Mindfulness Groups

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for depression relapse prevention are taught regularly by Marianne Spitzform, Ph.D. to interested individuals and organizations. Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction is an 8 week class developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn over 25 years ago. The class introduces a variety of mindfulness techniques during group meetings which are then practiced at home guided by CDs which are provided. The Stress Reduction course is helpful for a variety of health problems in addition to the stresses of everyday life.

Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy for depression relapse prevention combines the basic elements of the Stress Reduction course with strategies for recognizing and working with triggers of depression.

For individuals who prefer a less structured introduction to mindfulness practice, the elements of the class are taught in one-to-one meetings.
