MBSR for Parents: Finding Grace amidst the Chaos

Do you find the combination of living, parenting and working inside or outside of the home stressful? Does having loads of laundry, late office hours, a full schedule of enriching activities, or “D. All of the above” make you feel irritable and a bit crazy?

Do you find yourself thinking “if only I were a better Mother/ Father”? Would you like to minimize the effects of daily stress on you and your children? Would you like to find some grace amidst the chaos?

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction is an ideal antidote to the stresses of life in the 21st century. In this course we will use the practice of mindfulness, and the process of inquiry to explore the delightful and often overwhelming territory of parenting. We will practice applying these skills in daily life with our children, thereby cultivating grace amidst the chaos.

What is Mindfulness?

§  Mindfulness is simple: paying attention in the present moment.

§  Mindfulness is profound: the present moment is where our lives unfold, where our tenderness and our strength reside, and where choice is possible.  It can inform our interactions at home, on the freeway, in the supermarket, and at work.

§  Mindfulness is kind: it asks that we cultivate compassion for ourselves and others as we move through life.
