Group Programs, Personal Coaching, and Mentoring in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) Programs.
I have been involved in learning and teaching Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Programs (MBSR) since participating in my first program in 1993. Since that time I have trained in facilitating MBSR with the UMass Center for Mindfulness (CFM) and have gone on to teach MBSR to groups and individuals in universities, business and community settings. My work has also led me to teaching in military installations and even in the virtual world of Second Life. I have a strong passion for promoting the valuable work of mindfulness-based interventions and apply this passion in my role as Associate Director of the University of California San Diego Center for Mindfulness (UCSD CFM), spearheading marketing and program development efforts of the center, as well as leading MBSR and other mindfulness groups.
For more detailed information regarding MBSR coaching, programs, and mentoring, please accept this invitation to call me at (858) 412-9281, or email me at allanmbsr@gmail.com.
All the best,

Greetings Allan,
I am a physician assistant and experienced MBSR teacher, working to expand my teaching exposure. I teach through my studio and at Bay Path College ( a three credit course called “Stress Management” )
I live and work in Longmeadow, MA, outside of Springfield, MA.
Marketing and recruitment area huge challenge for me.
Any ideas, suggestions, net-working opportunities that you know of in my neighborhood?
wishing you well – and thanks for being on the web and doing this important work,
Leslie
Hi Leslie,
Indeed “filling the room” is a big challenge. It’s also a broad area for discussion which includes using all our networking abilities and skills. Along with having utilizing professional contacts and connections one thing I have been engaged in most recently is focusing on social media marketing. In the Springfield, MA area I’m only aware of people presenting there own programs. One thought that comes to mind is in some way using your course at Bay Path College to leverage your ability to reach out into the community. Also a suggestion based on what I might do if I were living back in MA is to participate in as many programs offered by the UMass CFM as possible. I believe that not only will that offer tremendous learning potential it also may provide networking opportunities. Dedication to the work has opened up opportunities for me far beyond what a simple marketing strategy might have resulted in. I sense you have that and it will serve you well.
All the best,
Allan
