Looking to strengthen your mindfulness practice, manage stress more skilfully, and bring a little more steadiness into a busy life?
This group offers a grounded, evidence-based introduction to Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) — the approach taught and researched at Brown, Oxford, and Cambridge Universities.

What to Expect

Each session blends:
