"....Whoever you are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to your imagination, 
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting -over and over announcing your place
                                                                in the family of things."           from Mary Oliver's -"Wild Geese"

Ken and Maria are both Certified MBSR Instructors

Maria is a Certified Yoga Teacher (RYT 500)

The MBSR course is an eight session, scientifically validated, educational program, originally developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn at the University of Massachusetts 30 years ago and has since become an internationally acclaimed program. Through mindfulness meditation and specific exercises involving the cultivation of a closer connection with our bodies and moment to moment non-judgmental awareness, the MBSR curriculum has been shown to be a powerful adjunct to the conventional medical treatment of many disorders and to increase one’s overall sense of well-being.
