Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction
An 8-Week Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Course to Cultivate Mind-Body Vitality, Resilience, and True Well-Being.
What is MBSR?
The Marion Institute’s BioMed Program proudly offers the eight-week Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) course, a proven method rooted in the idea that our thoughts, perceptions, and reactions profoundly affect physical health. MBSR empowers participants to harness mindfulness as a path to transformation through meditation, scientific insights, and engaging discussions. The course includes weekly sessions and a full-day immersive experience, fostering lasting mind-body awareness.
The Biological Medicine (BioMed) approach recognizes the inseparable connection between mind and body, with all systems working together to maintain vitality. Stress, anxiety, and chronic illness often stem from overlooked mental influences, making self-awareness key to true healing.
