The Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) Program has improved thousands of participants’ ability to manage the everyday stressors of life, including medical conditions, psychological distress, and relationship challenges. Participants generally report deeper compassion towards themselves and others, and improved capacity to serve.
Rahul facilitates the 8-Week MBSR Program on demand for physicians, teachers and other professionals. There are also scheduled programs for the public at large on the Sunshine Coast.
For those interested in bringing it to their community, please review the MBSR page and/or contact Rahul.
