Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction

Mindfulness meditation is the art of paying attention, of listening to your heart. Rather than withdrawing from the world, mindfulness can help you enjoy it more fully, effectively and peacefully.

In UW Health's Integrative Medicine Program, we offer a variety of group and individual meditation programs.
