Event Details

Spring is just around the corner… time to start thinking about the Spring Session of MBSR – Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction Classes; sponsored by Northern Michigan Psychiatric Services, PC and the Mindfulness Center of Northern Michigan, LLC. Teen class begins Wednesday, April 12 and adult class begins Thursday, April 13.

Reduced Rates/Financial Assistance is ALWAYS AVAILABLE and can be accessed on the registration page HERE. Call 231-342-9634 for more information or help with registration. _________________________________________________________________

Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is an 8-week class that runs from April 13 through June 15 on Thursday evenings along with a full day Mindfulness Retreat on Saturday June 3.

MBSR is an evidence-based, well -researched program that offers secular intensive mindfulness training to assist people with a host of stress-related physical, emotional and psychological conditions. Along with ongoing practice throughout the week, this class trains attention and cultivates awareness, providing one with positive coping tools needed to become strong and resilient in both body and mind.

MBSR is a psychoeducational and highly experiential in nature. In addition to didactic teaching, classes are interactive and dynamic, using a combination of mindfulness meditation, body awareness, yoga and the exploration of patterns of behavior, thinking, feeling and action. The MBSR program helps us become aware of our habitual patterns of reacting and the self-agency to interrupt this cycle and create more choice in our life. MBSR offers us the potential to relate to ourselves, our experiences and the world around us with fresh perspectives and in new and more meaningful ways.

This is a hybrid class being offered both in-person and online via Zoom and each MBSR session includes:

An Orientation (1 hour)

8 – MBSR Class Sessions (2 ½ hours ea.)

Full Day Silent Mindfulness Retreat

Free Online Guided Meditations

MBSR was founded by Jon Kabat Zinn in 1979 out of the University of Massachusetts. Since then, there has been a tremendous amount of research coming out of U-Mass, Harvard, Brown, UCLA, Stanford, UW-Madison and numerous other institutions around the world providing insight into, not only how MBSR positively benefits the body and mind, but also how it changes the structure and function of the brain through positive neuroplasticity.

This evidenced-based practice, deeply rooted in psychology, science and Far Eastern practices, has over 40 years of research and neuroscience demonstrating the profound ability to positively impact the health and well-being of body and mind. Over 1000 studies have shown that regular practice and mindful living can enhance attention, focus and memory, decrease symptoms of anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, PTSD, decrease self-harming and addictive behaviors, increase emotional stability and balance, improve mood and optimism, improve communication, social and relational skills, decrease the risk for disease, and reduce symptoms of diseases of both body and mind – enhancing overall immunity.

You will find a plethora of this research at the American Mindfulness Research Association www.goamra.org

Viktor Frankl, a Psychiatrist and Holocaust survivor, explains how mindfulness teaches us to pause and bring moment to moment awareness to our thoughts, emotions and bodily sensations in the face of unpleasant stimuli; permitting us to calmly choose to respond thoughtfully instead of simply reacting habitually to life’s inevitable challenges. Most of us, are unaware of this space “between stimulus and response” because we get caught in our habitual patterns of reacting to life.

“Between stimulus and response there’s a space, in that space lies our power to choose our response, in our response lies our growth and our freedom.” Victor Frankl

Event Details

Juneteenth Fun Run/Walk

Juneteenth (short for “June Nineteenth”) marks the day when federal troops arrived in Galveston, Texas in 1865 to take control of the state and ensure that all enslaved people be freed.

This 4K or 6.4K walk/run/roll is both an opportunity for the community to gather and, celebrate. Signage and drink stations will be present to guide participants on their route.

Here is a link for the 4K route that starts and finishes at Right Brain Brewery and turns around at Medalie Park.

TART Trails & Up North Pride are coming together to host the first-ever Rainbow Run, a color fun run and fundraiser around the Boardman Lake Loop Trail. To celebrate the trail systems and the Northern Michigan 2SLGBTQ+ Community during Pride Month, the event, on June 24, 2023, will invite the community to join together at Hull Park to enjoy music and refreshments before and after the run.
The run/walk route will take participants counterclockwise around the 4-mile Boardman Lake Loop Trail. There will be five distinct and separated stations along the route for participants to receive their colors. All participants who register by June 9th will receive a branded white t-shirt.

The trail will stay open for public use so please be kind to other trail users.
We will gather at Hull Park for music, refreshments, and community activities like lawn games after the event. All of the events at Hull Park will be open to the public.
