Simi Valley-area residents and families affected by cancer are invited to participate in a Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction course offered by The Wellness Community Valley/Ventura and sponsored by Simi Valley Hospital on Thursdays, June 4 through July 23, 6:30-8:30p.m. The course will be held at Simi Valley Hospital, 2975 N. Sycamore Dr., Simi Valley. An all-day class will be held on July 12. Please call 805-379-4777 to RSVP and for specific classroom locations.
Based on best-selling author Jon Kabat-Zinn’s program at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center and described in his book Full Catastrophe Living, the experiential course combines meditation, gentle yoga, readings and group discussion. Many people with cancer credit the course with changing their lives. Offered elsewhere for $1,000, the course is free to people faced with cancer and their loved ones by The Wellness Community Valley/Ventura and Simi Valley Hospital.
