What is Mindfulness–Based Stress Reduction?

Awareness and Relaxation Training was founded by Bob Stahl, Ph.D. in 1991. A.R.T. is an independent Mindfulness–Based Stress Reduction educational organization, modeled on Dr. Jon Kabat–Zinn’s work at the UMass. Stress Reduction Clinic. Dr. Bob Stahl established the first Mindfulness–Based Stress Reduction programs in California, in medical and educational settings.

The vision of Awareness and Relaxation Training is to help humanity’s heart to awaken to deeper levels of insight, compassion and healing for oneself and the world. Our objectives are to teach Mindfulness–Based Stress Reduction programs in medical settings, schools and corporations, as well as to serve various projects in the public sector.
