Mind-Body Skills Groups offer a powerful and effective combination of research based mind-body techniques to help you deal with life changes, stress, and illness. Mind-Body Skills Groups have been developed over the last 30 years according to a model created by CMBM Founder and Executive Director, James S Gordon, MD, and Senior CMBM Faculty. They are highly experiential and integrate techniques such as meditation, guided imagery, autogenic training, breath work, movement, self expression and other approaches into a supportive environment.
An online Mind-Body Skills Group is grounded in self-reflection. Sharing with others in a structured and intimate group format affords a unique space to acknowledge, honor, and express the various aspects of your experience. Mind-Body Skills Groups support being witness to your own as well as other’s emotions and experiences. We find that sharing and connecting with others creates a wonderful learning and growth environment that supports individual and collective well-being.
The groups are small, with 8-10 people and meet on a set day and time for 8 sessions, each for 2 hours. This format provides an opportunity for you to begin to integrate the mind-body skills into your life, with the support of the group to help you work through any difficulties along the way.
An online group gives you the opportunity to experience CMBM’s model in a way that’s convenient for you. You’ll practice the same Mind-Body Skills that we’ve used with hundreds of thousands of people around the world for almost 30 years, and you’ll experience a similar kind of powerful small group support. You’ll be able to integrate what you’ve learned immediately into your daily life, maximizing your self-care and enabling you to deal more successfully with stress.
