Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is an eight-week, group-based introduction to secular mindfulness practices. Designed by Jon Kabat-Zinn, the course is intended to help participants develop a personal mindfulness practice as a means of cultivating greater self-compassion and capacity for working with the stressful situations and difficult emotions we encounter living in our modern world.

He holds a MA in Art and Art Education from Columbia University in New York, and a BA in Studio Art from the University of Minnesota. He has been studying and practicing meditation in the Shambhala Buddhist lineage since 2005. He has trained to be a certified MBSR Instructor through MIndful Academy, a UK-accredited mindfulness teacher training institute, and is certified to teach the dot B mindfulness curriculum to secondary students. Michael is interested in the intersections between mindfulness, the artistic process, and the art of teaching.
