By checking the box below, I indicate that the risks, benefits and possible side effects of the 8-week Mindfulness-Based Stress reduction program have been explained to me. I understand that the components of the program include skill training in a variety of mindfulness meditation modalities and mindful movements, for which I’m responsible, as needed, to modify or adapt, with the support of my instructor. It is also my understanding that if, for any reason, I am unable to, or think it is unwise for me to engage in these practices and exercises either during class or in home practice, that I am under no obligation to engage with these skills, nor will I hold the Mindfulness Center at Brown University responsible for any injury or incapacity incurred from the practices or movements. Finally, I understand and agree to the commitment to attend the 8-weekly sessions, the all-day class, and complete the home practice assignments (of 45-60+ minutes per day), as part of the 8-week MBSR program. *
