Mindfulness-Based Stress Management Spring 2024
Dear Applicants to the Mindfulness course!
We have now finalized the dates, times and locations for the Mindfulness course this spring. There has been an amazing interest in the course, and very many applicants, so I am publishing this information at once with the following request:
Important!
Please look carefully at the schedule and information below, and reflect upon if you are able and willing to commit to this course over the 10 weeks of its duration this spring. I do hope to see you there!
However, if you are accepted to the course but feel the set-up is not compatible with your spring schedule, please withdraw asap so that someone else may take your place. Thank you!
