Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is an evidence-based, user-friendly program that brings the principles of mindfulness meditation into everyday life. You will learn specific skills and practices to help break cycles of anxiety, stress, unhappiness and exhaustion.
This training will offer you a precious capacity for the rest of your life. You will develop an observing, accepting and compassionate stance towards your own internal experiences and how to apply this in a practical way to immediate life challenges. Our dedicated teachers will go the extra mile to help you engage with each other and your practice in ways that are immediately satisfying and helpful.
Openground is proud to be endorsed by Emeritus Professor Jon Kabat-Zinn – who developed MBSR at the University of Massachusetts Medical School in 1979 for people suffering chronic and acute stress, chronic pain and illness, and associated anxiety and depression. As seen on ABC Catalyst TV.

What people say about the program
Discounts
We love to offer enabling discounts for people who have a need for our support because of disability, long-term unemployment, students (with no help from parents) or chronic pain conditions that prevent work. And there is much need at the moment of course, because of increased cost of living. So if you have access to assets, savings, shares, or property, can we ask you to reflect on whether you can stretch to afford the full fee at this time, or maybe choose a payment plan. Thanks!
Please complete this questionnaire today if you need a serious discount and we will be back in touch soon.
