Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction –
Zen Center of Denver

Mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) is an evidence-based course developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn over 40 years ago at UMass Medical School. It is highly effective at helping manage stress, pain and illness, as well as finding more joy, ease and insight into one’s life, and has been shown to provide myriad physical and psychological benefits. This recurring eight-week class at the Zen Center of Denver is taught by Peggy Sheehan, M.D., who brings many years of experience of teaching MBSR programs at Kaiser Permanente, along with being a Zen teacher and one of the ZCD’s spiritual directors. Though offered at the Zen Center, this is a secular mindfulness course available for anyone interested in learning widely applicable meditation skills. Peggy offers a wonderful balance of decades of meditation practice, clinical experience and gentle humor.
