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 also an excellent introduction to mindfulness for clinicians, who are welcome to take it for credit.

The latest science shows us that the practice of mindfulness leads to states of joy and well-being. Join us for a class where we focus on cultivating states of joy. We will explore what gets in the way of joy, how joy arises in meditation practice, and how to bring more happiness and well-being into our daily lives.
We will also learn the practice of appreciative joy—taking delight in other’s good fortune. This practice is an excellent antidote to jealousy and covetousness. The class will include guided sitting and walking meditations, lectures and discussion, and relational practices, which all cultivate positive emotions and greater states of well-being. Suitable for beginning and experienced students (see pre-requisite below).

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.
