Dear Friends,

Any one of us may be feeling fear, anger, or worry about COVID-19 and its effects on our livelihoods, health, the health of loved ones and health of our communities.

StressCare is joining the effort to slow the spread of COVID-19 by suspending our classes and 1-on-1 meetings at this time.

We are looking into the possibility of offering online programs during this time of social distancing and upheaval. We will update you as soon as we can.

In the meantime, may you find comfort and strength in your practice. May we all have courage to ask for and give each other aid when needed.

Please stay safe and healthy. We hope to see you again soon. ... See MoreSee Less

"Peace does not come only after many long days of practice. What is most important is your wish, your determination. You can nurture peace through your breathing, your footsteps, or your smile; through seeing, hearing, or feeling, until you are one with peace."

--Thich Nhat Hahn, from The Sun, My Heart:
Reflections on Mindfulness, Concentration, and Insight

"First let us light the torch of awareness and learn again how to drink tea, eat, wash dishes, walk, sit, drive, and work in awareness.

We do not have to be swept along by circumstances. We are not just a leaf or a log in a rushing river. With awareness, each of our daily acts takes on a new meaning, and we discover that we are more than just machines, that our activities are not just mindless repetitions. We find that life is a miracle, the universe is a miracle, and we too are a miracle."
