Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)

Continuation Classes

We are pleased to offer continuation classes for people who have completed the Foundations program. We are aware that it can be difficult to find the time, motivation and support to continue what you have learned after the class is over, so we offer several opportunities to maintain your mindfulness practice.

Continuation classes are open to graduates of Duke Integrative Medicine's MBSR programs. Graduates of other programs are also welcome to attend, provided they check in with one of our instructors before attending. This ensures that everyone is "on the same page." Individuals with little or no meditation experience should first attend one of our Foundations programs or seek another class.

Saturday Drop-In
 

Saturday Drop-In Classes are once-a-month sessions except for months with the Day of Mindfulness. Topics vary.  This class is for MBSR almuni only.

See the Schedules page for Saturday Drop-In dates.

Day of Mindfulness

One full-day session of intense mindfulness practice taking place once during each program cycle (Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall). Please bring a bag lunch, a yoga mat or blanket and something comfortable to sit on during meditation periods.  This class is for MBSR almuni and currently enrolled students only.

Get directions to the Day of Mindfulness

Although preregistration is not required for the Day of Mindfulness, we ask and strongly encourage anyone with special needs or health challenges to alert us well in advance of attending the day, so that we might be aware of you, and so we can plan together the safest and most comfortable ways to support you, and to include you in the day's activities.

See the Schedules page for Day of Mindfulness dates.

Experience Mindfulness

Join Jeff Brantley for a weekly "taste" of mindfulness. Topics vary.  This class is open to the public.

Managing Difficulties With Mindfulness

Join Ron Vereen once a month for sessions focusing on using mindfulness as a coping technique. Please note: this class is an expansion of the MBSR Graduate offering of the same name. While completion of that program is beneficial to your participation in this continuation class, it is not required.  This class is open to the public.
