DESCRIPTION:Join the Mindful Astoria community this spring for an 8-week course in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)\, the curriculum developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn at the University of Massachusetts Medical School Center for Mindfulness. \nMindfulness is paying attention\, on purpose\, in the present moment\, without judgment.
