Mindfulness retreats and training programs?
Question by Spencealence on "Mindfulness": Hi. I am looking to find a mindfulness retreat program (go away to a facility for a week or more to practice this specific type of meditation). I am also looking for it to be SPECIFICALLY geared to anxiety reduction, and also as non-religious as can be. I'm thinking like a class or retreat offered by a top medical college. Best Answer: 
Mind does matter.

Hi: I would definitely contact the Barre Meditation Center in Massachusetts. I know less about the Spirit Rock Meditation Center near the West Coast. However, they seem to be the western cousin of Barre. I think both centers cater to individuals who are interested in meditation as a spiritual discipline and also as a non-sectarian means to deal with physical or emotional trauma. In other words, everyone is welcome. I suggest emailing or calling them and telling them about your primary interests. Besides on-site retreats, they have certified teachers who conduct courses in many parts of the country. I wish you well.
