Parent Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction Workshop
ISB is developing its Mindfulness program not only for our students but for our community as well. Please join us on Friday, February 6, 9:30- 12:00 in the MPB for an introduction to the Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction Program (MBSR), taught by renowned Mindfulness expert Linda Ambrose. MBSR is an 8-week course designed to teach people how to better take care of themselves and participate fully in improving the health and quality of their lives as they work with various types of “stressors” or suffering that is limiting the life they would like to lead. Forty teachers from ISB have recently completed this course as part of their teaching preparation. Linda Ambrose has graciously offered to provide a course introduction for parents on Feb 6, and ISB PTA is happy to announce that the same 8-week MBSR will be available for our parent community beginning in mid-February! See information at https://inside.isb.ac.th/
