University of Pennsylvania: Penn Program for Mindfulness
Foundation Mindfulness-Based Stress Management Course Information

What is the Penn Program for Mindfulness Foundation Course?

Mindfulness and meditation have been potent tools for growth and change for thousands of years. The Penn Program for Mindfulness offers an 8-week public mindfulness-based stress management course that can create a remarkable amount of change in a very short time.

Mindfulness meditation is a powerful way to manage stress, and may well become the foundation of a comprehensive new model of clinical healthcare. Most simply expressed, mindfulness is paying attention to moment-to-moment experience.  Mindfulness meditation helps us restore and maintain a sense of personal balance and develop the skills to avoid emotional and physical depletion. This is important not only for persons with stress-related conditions but also for persons who want to avoid such conditions.  And, what starts as a simple technique to manage stress, can evolve into a vehicle for the transformation of one's entire life.

Many people find it difficult to maintain a regular practice without the support of a group or the structure of a class. While individual practice is essential to making mindfulness a part of our daily lives, group practice strengthens our commitment to ourselves and deepens our understanding. A community of practitioners offers support for bringing mindfulness more fully into everyday life.  Join us!
