It is estimated that over 50 million Americans struggle with chronic pain, as do millions more worldwide. While living with chronic pain is a challenge physically and emotionally, mindfulness can be a supportive approach to working with chronic pain.

MARC is delighted to present the work of Dr. Christiane Wolf, a leading mindfulness teacher and figure in the field of mindfulness and pain, and the author of the just released "Outsmart your Pain". In this 5-week series you will explore how the practices of awareness and kindness can help to down-regulate not only your stress levels in general but very specifically, the often over-sensitized pain system. Each week we will spend time exploring the topic through a short talk, reflection, small and big group discussions and a guided practice. .
