Mindfulness and Meditation

This program is currently unavailable. Click here to view all of our current programs.


Mindfulness and meditation have the potential to positively impact our lives. Research has shown that it helps to decrease feelings of depression and anxiety, prevent depressive relapse, lower blood pressure and assist with chronic pain. Research has also shown that meditation changes the structure of our brain. For example, after 8 weeks of practice, brain scans show that it shrinks the amygdala, our fear and worry center. Join Carey O'Toole, A Naropa University MA graduate, whose clinical training program focused on mindfulness and meditation.
