Imagine spending five days acquiring new tools for living with greater ease, joy, depth, resilience and balance. Treat yourself, a friend, or family member to Mindfulness Tools: A Five-Day Residential Program, choosing from among several 2016 U.S. program locations (Photo: Omega). During your time you will practice mindfulness skills with other people like you, in a highly participatory structured learning environment. 

The program is highly participatory, supportive, and structured. You will learn and practice through:

• guided instruction in mindfulness meditation practices


• gentle stretching and mindful yoga


• group dialogue and mindful communication exercises to enhance awareness in everyday life


• individually tailored instruction

The program consists of five days (38.5 hours) of direct instruction.

This program is an offshoot of the eight-week Stress Reduction Program, founded by Jon Kabat-Zinn in 1979 at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center's Center for Mindfulness. Highly respected within the medical community, the program supports health enhancement and wellness focused on prevention and learning the "how" of taking good care of yourself as well as feeling a greater sense of balance.
