Dealing with stress
Mindfulness resources for challenging times
These are challenging times for most people. And we want to help as much as we can. So we collected these tools and resources to help you.
Some, you can use on your own - or share with family, friends and colleagues. This is so for the guided meditations, the workbook for doing your own MBSR course, the tests, and the talks (which you find in the left menu). However, if you are interested in practicing mindfulness in a group setting, please see our courses and retreats page here :
Also, please let us know if you have any suggestions for how we could share and help.
