Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction

The Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction program invites participants to practice present-moment awareness, deep relaxation, and gentle movement. Through these techniques, participants learn to discover and observe their reactions to life’s stressors and choose how to respond.

This program is offered virtually via Zoom or in-person at Duke Integrative Medicine Center.

Tapping Into Health: Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) for Self-Healing

EFT is a mind-body-spirit self-care approach that involves tapping on acupuncture points while repeating emotionally charged statements that relate to specific health issues. It is often referred to as acupressure for the emotions. EFT will be combined with breathwork, imagery, movement, and dreamwork. Each week will focus on a different theme.
