"We have a great, habitual fear inside ourselves. We're afraid of many things--of our own death, of losing our loved ones, of change, or being alone. The practice of mindfulness helps us touch nonfear. It's only here and now that we can experience total relief, total happiness."

--Thich Nhat Hahn, Buddhist monk, peace activist and mindfulness pioneer ... See MoreSee Less

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."

Reflections on Mindfulness, Concentration, and Insight
