For questions regarding our programs, please contact Marian at 604-787-6100 or email msmith@mindful-living.ca. If you are interested in the MBCT program to prevent depression relapse, you need to schedule a time to talk in order to ensure a good fit.

GRAD CLASSES

We offer Graduate classes on Working with Difficult Emotions & Body States (such as anger, fear, pain...), Radical Acceptance & Compassion and Living as if we only have a Year to Live. These classes are open to students who have taken previous MBSR and/or MBCT classes or have previous meditation experience. Classes include a talk, discussion, and practice. The Handouts with suggestions for home practice are given each week.

* MBCT/MBSR follow-up drop-in evenings

These small groups are offered on a drop-in basis in order to help participants keep up their practice and have the opportunity to check in and ask questions. These evenings are open students who have taken previous MBSR and/or MBCT classes. Classes include a talk, discussion, and practice and are offered once a month. Contact Marian at msmith@mindful-living.ca for details.

Location: 203A-2678 West Broadway (between Stephens & Trafalgar.)
Cost is $40 (incl gst) per group. Please pre-register by email or telephone as space is limited here! Please give at least 48 hrs notice if you need to cancel, otherwise you will be expected to pay for your space. Thank you.

**DAYLONG MINI RETREATS

A daylong session consists of six hours of continuous meditation practice, including all of those offered in an MBSR or MBCT program. The practices include body scan meditation, gentle yoga, mindfulness meditation (anchoring in the breath, body and sound, working with thoughts and emotions,) walking meditation and mindful eating. Participants practice in silence, providing the opportunity to go deeper with one's practice while supporting each other's commitment to mindfulness. Silence is broken at the end of the day in order to debrief your experience.

These Mini Retreats are part of the MBSR program and the first one is included in the MBSR tuition. They are also open to those who have participated in an MBCT program for a fee. Many students attend several mini retreats as a way to support ongoing mindfulness practice.
