Shorter multiple weeks and workshop length Mindful Self Compassion Courses.

Our signature 6 week Mindfulness Embodied Course.

A Parenting Course based on Thich Nhat Hanh's educational principles.

Other yet to be announced courses are on the way, such as Introduction to Mindfulness for Youth.
Class Setup
All classes are live online (using Zoom) in the comfort of your own home. Each session consists of a time of formal practice (meditation or mindful movement), a small group time where practice experiences are shared, and a discussion time in a larger group designed to help participants develop the tools to increase awareness and improve stress response.
Course materials
Each course will provide you with additional resources. These can include Home practice instructions, handbooks, and guided mindfulness meditation audio files (some of which are provided online for everyone to enjoy.
​
Guided mindfulness meditation practices consist of awareness of breath, walking meditations, body scans, loving kindness, mindful motion etc.
Course Schedules
-
For all our courses, your instructor will schedule a Pre-Course Informational Meeting (15 to 30 minutes), giving you a chance to get to know them and the course content and materials.
-
The schedule after that depends on the particular course you are attending.
Pricing
At Imagine, we believe that all should have access to benefits of MBSR. We are passionate about bringing those benefits to the world. As a world-wide program, we recognize the disparity in income and want to make sure that everyone has access to this program. This is why we ask for an initial $50 registration fee and a suggested participation donation once you have had an informational meeting with one of our instructors. You can find out more about these sliding scale suggestions in the relevant course pages.
