Mindfulness for Stress & Anxiety at Home: Finding Calm in Uncertain Times

A 6-Week Online Group

Mindfulness is being fully in the present moment with acceptance of your experience.  It means to take a step back and be the observer of your mind, rather than getting caught up in your worries.

In this group, Dr. Ellis Edmunds and Elana Morgulis, MFT will lead the group through mindfulness meditation exercises that have been proven to calm anxiety and improve well-being. These exercises are simple, effective, and easy to practice.
