An eight-week course at Carson City's Western Nevada College campus will help participants develop more capacity to deal with short- and long-term stressors in life.
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction is starting March 26 and will meet weekly on Tuesdays from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., with an all-day retreat from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on May 4. The cost is $365.
The tools offered in the course will teach students how to approach life with more composure, energy, understanding, and enthusiasm, and can also help participants develop the ability to manage and reduce pain levels. Through weekly homework, students will improve their focus, resilience, and capacity to recover more quickly from life’s challenges.
The course is taught by Heather Haslem, a national board-certified health and wellness coach and qualified Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction teacher. Haslem is passionate about helping people to age well and to prevent and overcome chronic conditions.
