MBSR Talk and Classes in Bonita Springs
A
free presentation on Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) will be held from 1 to 7 p.m., April 21, at the Brooks Executive Suites, in Bonita Springs. The event discusses the benefits of taking a full, eight-week MBSR course, also hosted by Integrative Mindfulness (IM), from May 3 through June 30, with classes from 9:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Tuesdays; 6 to 8:30 p.m. on Thursdays; and an all-day Saturday or Sunday retreat. MBSR is a combination of mindfulness meditation, gentle, yoga and more than three decades of scientific research pio- neered by Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn at the University of Massachusetts Medical School. IM founder Madeline Ebelini, who will lead the classes,
completed intensive training with senior university faculty, including Kabat-Zinn, and then earned a master’s degree in Transpersonal Psychology at Naropa University. She is a prac- titioner of mindfulness meditation and yoga and is also a Yoga Alliance registered yoga teacher. Ebelini says she has felt the positive influence of MBSR in her own life, and has also, “… witnessed remarkable improvements in the lives of people who have completed these workshops.”
