MBSR II: Roots of Mindfulness

Grow and Sustain your Mindfulness Practice in Community

Are you interested in continuing to develop your mindfulness practice? Want to deepen your understanding of mindfulness? Curious about the spiritual roots of contemporary mindfulness teachings? Are you seeking community and support around integrating the habit of daily meditation into your life?

This 8-week online course is for alumni of the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction program or the Mindful Self-Compassion program who are ready to explore mindfulness more deeply. It was developed by Mindfulness Northwest Founder and Executive Director Tim Burnett.

This course will support you in:

Setting intentions for your practice of mindfulness
Incorporating formal and informal mindfulness practices in your daily routine
Learning ways to relate to the doings of your mind in a more healthy way
Exploring mindfulness in the context of how you relate with others
Learning how mindfulness was traditionally understood in Buddhism and how to apply this ancient wisdom to our modern lives
Going more deeply into the scientific support and exploration of mindfulness and its benefits
Being in community with other committed practitioners of mindfulness and an experienced teacher for two months

Classes like Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction are powerful partly because of the strong learning communities that come together over those two months. We learn as much from each other in class as we do from the teacher and the curriculum. MBSR II: Roots of Mindfulness helps us continue that supportive community. We come together to keep learning with and from each other, and to support each other in living in deep conversation with mindfulness practice.

Tim Burnett

In concert with exploring contemporary mindfulness teachings, we’ll orient our exploration around a traditional Buddhist text and touch upon the scientific support for the transformational possibilities of mindfulness practice. The emphasis will be both on developing deeper understanding, and on everyday life integration.

Each week expect:

Hands-on mindfulness practices, exercises and meditations
Discussion and exploration of how we’re incorporating mindfulness into our lives
A deep dive into topics ranging from Buddhist teachings on the Four Foundations of Mindfulness to recent neuroscience
Weekly home practice assignments, readings, handouts and videos to explore
Connect with an accountability partner between classes to support your daily practice
