This 10-Week Online MBSR Foundations Training is organized by the Centre For Mindfulness Canada, in North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The successful completion of this MBSR Foundations Training is fully recognized and acknowledged by the Mindfulness Center, School of Public Health, at Brown University.
The format for the 10-Week Online Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) Foundations Training program combines concurrent required participation in an eight-week MBSR program (including the Orientation) as well as engaging in the 10-Week Foundations Seminar. The concurrent participation in the eight-week MBSR class will allow the participant-trainees to engage in formal MBSR mindfulness meditation practices, as well as investigation of themes of perception, automatic, habitual stress reactivity, mindfulness-mediated stress response and interpersonal communication. If you have not taken the eight-week MBSR program as a participant prior to your application to this Training, you will not be able to apply to this MBSR Foundations program. Taking the MBSR program for the first time with Foundations does not fulfill the pre-requisite requirement.
MBSR Foundations involves meeting twice each week (Tuesday and Wednesday evenings) over a 10-week period, in addition to the MBSR All-Day. If your application for 10-Week Online MBSR Foundations Training is accepted, you will be automatically registered in both the eight-week MBSR program and MBSR Foundations Seminar.
