A sense of community is central to the Mind-Body Skills experience. Our groups typically comprise 8-10 members and 2 co-facilitators (Drs. Blandford and Riggs) who meet for a two-hour session once per week for eight weeks. In every group meeting, we incorporate elements of meditation, education, skill-building, and sharing. As facilitators, we are there to guide the experience and teach skills, but we also participate alongside you as group members. Ultimately, we are not there to tell you what to do, but to help you discover your own truths and answers. Participants are also encouraged to establish a regular routine of practicing the self-care skills that are taught during the weekly small group meetings.
