Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction (MBSR) 8-week Course

with Ryan Grimes

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is an eight-week course which empowers participants to cultivate mindfulness and acceptance towards themselves and others, and break cycles of anxiety and stress. Each week involves teaching, meditation, and the opportunity for reflection in the transformative setting of a safe, small group. Widely considered to be the "gold standard" for mindfulness courses, MBSR was first developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn at the University of Massachusetts in the 1970s. It has since been proven to reduce anxiety and pain, and improve sleep, concentration and empathy. Ryan is a certified MBSR and Search Inside Yourself teacher, who leads a range of mindfulness courses and workshops in Hong Kong and on Insight Timer. This course is fantastic for both beginner and advanced meditators.

Students will...

  • Understand stress physiology and emotional regulation

  • Deepen awareness of the mind-body connection and habit patterns

  • Awaken your capacity for stress management and healing

  • Improve interpersonal communication

  • Improve health, wellbeing and sleep

This learning experience includes:

  • 8 weeks of live, online 2.5 hour sessions

  • Day-long at-home retreat and guided meditations for at-home practice on 24th April

  • Online course materials

  • Certification of completion (as MBSR can be a prerequisite for other mindfulness courses)

  • 1 x 30-minute consult with Ryan before the start of the workshop series
