Three recognized leaders in the field of MBSR with a combined practice of over 100 years of practice in mindfulness...
Foundations of Mindfulness in stillness and in movement grounded in compassion, joy, friendliness and equanimity. You’ll have the benefits of a retreat AND the opportunity to integrate it into real life, in real time.
This online retreat is co-sponsored by Brown Mindfulness Center and the Copper Beech Institute and fulfills the requirement for the 7-day retreat in the MBSR Teacher training pathway.
Strengthening your practice with the daily stability and reminders in a group setting. This retreat is appropriate for beginners or experienced meditators and mirrors a residential silent retreat.
This retreat offers LIVE, daily instruction, daily Dharma talks, community building through practice – book ended by opportunities to connect in small groups at the beginning and the end of the retreat. An emphasis will be placed on movement practices and accessible yoga that focus on the inter-play between the mind and body.

Pioneering instructor in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, along with Jon Kabat-Zinn and Saki Santorelli, Elana has been integrating mindfulness into daily life as a psychotherapist, certified MBSR teacher and leader in the mindfulness field since 1984.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have extensive experience integrating mindfulness and integrative modalities into a clinical practice since 1994 with elders, high risk populations and persons with chronic conditions as well as their caregivers in a wide range of community, research, and institutional settings. I also developed a pioneering practice using mindfulness as well as other complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) modalities to improve the quality of life in community, hospital, clinic and nursing home settings.
The retreat begins at 6 p.m. EST on December 27th and ending at 10 a.m. EST on January 3rd and will run from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. EST on all the other days. We'll have a schedule similar to the in-person retreat: walking, movement, sitting and meals and work time along with an evening dharma talk and meetings with teachers. You will need internet capability that allows you to be on camera for the retreat.
This retreat will no doubt offer some new challenges but will also provide the opportunity to observe our routine life and habits anew. The schedule will be rigorous with seamless practices identical to a residential retreat. Please consider your time zone and the adaptations that will be required.
If you live with others you will need to get their commitment to cooperate so that you can remain in silence as much as possible, if not completely.
Lucia can speak with those of you who anticipate factors in your environment or situation that could interfere.
