Class schedule is updated every two weeks.
This is a good choice for someone who wants a webinar without much community or teacher interaction. You can work at your own pace for the duration of the 6-week course with an additonal two weeks after for review for a total of 8 weeks of access to course materials. The online course consists of recordings from six previously live classes. Participants will have access to audio materials as well as an "Ask the Mindfulness Teacher" option to have any questions related to the course or your practice answered. Class sessions begin every Monday. You must register by Sunday at 11:59 pm, PST to begin the following Monday. Any registrations after, will begin the next Monday. If Monday falls on a holiday, you will be sent class details on the following business day.
These live online classes are held in a small community format led by senior MARC teachers as well as affiliate MARC teachers you’ve come to know and love. This is a good choice for those who want to go through MAPs with a group of others, live teacher support, and is date/time specific. Class start dates and times vary, choose the times that work best for you!
The MAPs I course is an excellent introduction to mindfulness for beginners. MAPs I provides insight into the basics of mindfulness, how to develop a mindfulness meditation practice, and how mindfulness can be applied in daily life. It is also appropriate for experienced practitioners who wish to revitalize their practice.
MAPs I- for Daily Living is an excellent introduction to mindfulness for clinicians, who are welcome to take it for credit.

Many of us struggle with anxiety, depression and anger. These natural human emotions can be a source of suffering that can negatively impact quality of life. Mindfulness has been shown to promote more states of well being and happiness and has been incorporated into a variety of clinical treatments for mental health issues such as anxiety and depression. But whether or not you have a mental health concern or simply struggle with the challenges of 21st century living and the anxiety, stress, and frustration of life, this class can support you in finding more ease, balance, and happiness.
In the class we will work weekly with each emotion, exploring how to bring mindfulness to it and include other approaches to working with it. We will also learn practices that antidote difficult emotions such as equanimity or balance, compassion, and loving kindness.
This class may be particularly relevant for mental health clinicians, but is open to anyone.
Pre-requisite: Attendance in any introductory MAPs I series or equivalent mindfulness introductory class with permission from our instructor. If you have not taken a MAPs I class at MARC, please email us a brief description of your equivalent experience to [email protected] before class start date.

Many of us struggle with issues of self-judgment and self-criticism. People of all ages suffer from painful thoughts such as, "I'm not good enough," "I messed that up again," and "I hate my body." Although these thoughts may feel overwhelming and intractable, we can learn how to work with and lessen them. Science has shown that you can actually change your brain through mindfulness and the cultivation of positive emotional states.
In this class, we will explore mindfulness practices to work with self-critical thoughts, and self-compassion practices to nurture kindness and compassion for ourselves and others. This class will include sitting and walking mindfulness and kindness meditations, periods of silence, personal exploration, and discussion to help cultivate and encourage more self-compassion. The material in this class is very powerful. We encourage you to have a consistent daily meditation practice before attending this class.
Pre-requisite: Attendance in any introductory MAPs I series or equivalent mindfulness introductory class with permission from our instructor. If you have not taken a MAPs I class at MARC, please email us a brief description of your equivalent experience to [email protected] before class start date.

This class is for students who have taken MAPs I and MAPs II classes and wish to deepen their mindfulness practice.
We will cultivate mindful attention through sitting, walking, stretching and alternative mindfulness meditation techniques to enhance practice on the cushion and in daily life.
This class will also include lecture and discussion.
Sometimes in meditation and in life we find our bodies are uncomfortable or tense. Since ease and relaxation serve our meditation practice, this class will devote significant time to mindful movement, called “Easy Stretching Postures.” These postures are helpful for relaxed awareness, ease in the body and an open heart.
Note: Please wear loose fitting clothing and bring a mat or blanket to lie down on.
Pre-requisite: MAPs I and at least two MAPs II classes, or permission from instructor. If you have not taken these classes at MARC but have equivalent experience, please email us a brief description of your equivalent experience to [email protected] before class start date.

As an ADHD adult you are brilliant, full of great ideas and insights and definitely able to be present and attentive.
There are perfectly good reasons (no, not being defective) that you ignore tasks, leave them unfinished, don't put things back where they belong, act impulsively, lose interest, become bored, anxious, are hyper-sensitive to blame, have no sense of time, forget important things, and can't stick with things to the finish line.
Through years of work with thousands of clients Dr. William Dodson, psychiatrist, tells us the ADHD brain simply functions differently than the 80% - 90% of the society who are "Neurotypicals." For example, you become motivated, engaged, focused and on top of things in 4-5 completely unique ways than others do. This can cause you to be hyper focused or not engaged. There are several other differences.
Most doctors are not educated about these differences and treat according to old paradigms. Unfortunately, most tips, including regular Mindfulness aimed to fix these issues have failed, leaving the ADHD adult hopeless and stuck.
When you understand how the ADHD brain works and develop the skills to do things accordingly, you can reduce almost all of the challenges mentioned above and live a successful happy life.
In this four weeks introductory course, you learn about your brain’s unique qualities and natural strengths and pick up a few modified Mindfulness tools. This is an educational course designed with Mindfulness techniques for the ADHD nervous system. We offer practices appropriate to the way the ADHD brain can absorb.
Science indicates Mindful Awareness can reduce worry, anxiety, forgetfulness, impulsive reactions, and hypersensitivity. With training and practice, you can fine tune your brain to reduce tardiness, fogginess, and confusion. You are naturally present. Learn to how harness this natural strength of being present.
Who should attend: Ages 16+ who believe are ADD/ ADHD. We encourage spouses, family members, teachers, therapists, coaches and trainers to attend to learn in order to support the ADHD individual effectively.
Course Format:
