Mind-Body Skills Groups

Experience compassionate healing in a safe space where participants learn a variety of self-care strategies to enhance well-being and resilience. 

What to Expect

Led by Jason Cooper, MD, certified in mind-body medicine by Jim Gordon's CMBM.

Virtual 8-week sessions (plus a bonus session) on Wednesday evenings by Zoom.

Our goal is to help you:

  • Build resilience, focus, and self-compassion

  • Deepen insight by recognizing patterns of stress and trauma

  • Learn grounding skills to approach life’s difficulties as opportunities for healing and learning

Participants share and practice vulnerability in a safe space while connecting with others on a shared healing journey and receive access to our video library.

This group series is grounded in the work of Dr. James Gordon, the founder of the Center for Mind Body Medicine, who is recognized for his use of self-awareness, self-care, and group support for healing. Mind-body skills groups equip participants with tools and support to change their experience of life and how they relate to themselves and to others. These groups have also been proven to decrease stress, depression, anxiety, and sleep disturbance.
