provide structure and support for the
development of independent, ongoing
practice. This program is appropriate for
those with challenging physical
conditions and/or life circumstances as
well as for those who simply are seeking
a path to greater stillness and well-being.
Daily homework assignments, practice

at UMass Medical School. The cost for
this 8-week course and retreat is $350.
