Announcing new mindfulness program!
The Center for Eating Disorders is offering the group, EMBARC: a nine week mindfulness-based program to assist individuals with eating, weight and body image challenges.
Meets Tuesdays, 7-9:30 p.m., Jan. 25 - March 29 St. Joseph Mercy Hospital Women's Health Center, Ann Arbor, Michigan Cost: $525.00
EMBARC (Encouraging Mindfulness and Balance Awakening Responsiveness and Connection) teaches evidence-based principles and practices of mindfulness to promote greater awareness of the relationship of the mind-body connection to eating issues. By bringing mindfulness to mood states, thinking patterns and awareness of normal physiological cues (especially satiety and hunger), participants will learn to mobilize their own inner resources of mind and body to enhance their health and healing. EMBARC is based on the seminal work of Jon Kabat Zinn's Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) course offered at the U-MASS Stress Reduction Clinic and James Gordon's Mind-body skills program offered through the Center of Mind-body Medicine in Washington, DC.
EMBARC is facilitated by CED Medical Director Melissa Sundermann, DO and psychologist Rita Benn, PhD. For information and registration, call Dr. Melissa Sunderman, 734-668-8585 or email info@center4ed.org
