Are you asking yourself where did the summer go? Do you feel like you’re scrambling to keep up with it all and consequently missing the moment? Are you reactive rather than responsive in stressful situations, a way of being that often worsens stressful situations? Are you making lists, planning, worrying, and anticipating, trying to keep your head above water? Do you feel like you put everyone else’s needs ahead of yours? Then our eight-week Autumn Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction program might be for you. This evidence-based program helps you with clarity, to see what is really happening rather than what you think is happening and often wrong. Concentration, the ability to focus with all of your senses to what you are doing when you are doing it. Equanimity, the ability to more evenly ride the wave of life’s uncertainties with wisdom, full presence, and calm. To find out more about our MBSR program and to register, please visit mindfulnessontherocks.ca or send us an email to [email protected]. We hope you will join us! Program starts October 13, 2027.

We are now accepting registrations for our upcoming Autumn 2026 Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Program! Here’s what three recent participants of the program say about their experience! Visit mindfulnessontherocks.ca or send us an email at [email protected] to sign up today! Gary and Sheila

“This MBSR course was well worth the time, cost and commitment. Whether you are new to minfulness meditation or have an active practice, this course will deepen your knowledge, understanding, and engagement. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who is curious about finding stillness, quiet, and curiosity through meditation. The full day silent retreat will especially stick with me; its impact has been indescribable.”

“I recently participated in the Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction Program facilitated by Sheila and Gary. It was an intense course, but it helped me immensely to reduce my stress. I feel that the course gave me many tools to get out of my head, talk myself off the ledge and return to the present moment. The program was easy to follow and everything was very well explained. Sheila and Gary are very kind and approachable. I feel like this course brought me back to myself and I can highly recommend this program to anyone who feels stressed or overwhelmed by daily life!”

“Participating in the spring sessions with Mindfulness on the Rocks was a valuable experience. Gary and Sheila are excellent teachers. They are patient, kind, and model the behaviors we are there to learn. One feels very comfortable in their classes. I am convinced that meditating daily is a healthy way to live and I am committed to practicing for at least 45 minutes a day. I continue to strive for better focus and balance in my life and my goal is to improve daily through meditative practice. Thank you so very much Sheila and Gary!”

Mindfulness on the Rocks has been offering Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) nationally for the past 14 years. Mindfulness on the Rocks recognizes women at all stages of life, from caring for families and building careers to supporting others and navigating life’s transitions. Women who attend our classes report that the most meaningful gift they give themselves is the opportunity to pause, breathe, and reconnect, without judgment.

MBSR is an evidence-based program that assists in reducing the physiological and physical impact of stress and anxiety, improving emotional well-being, building resilience, supporting better sleep, sharpening concentration and focus, and fostering self-compassion and balance.

We sincerely hope you will consider registering for our Autumn 2026 8-Week MBSR Program, commencing Tuesday, October 13, 2026. This course offers participants practical mindfulness skills that can support you now and for years to come.

Thank you to Melissa Cotesta and Roberta Heale for spearheading The Whole Woman Project and recognizing that mindfulness practices can empower women in today’s demanding world.

We look forward to meeting you this autumn. Visit mindfulnessontherocks.ca for full course details or contact us via email.

Sincerely,
Sheila and Gary
