Mindfulness helps train and refine the mind and body to become more stable and insightful
The Mission of the Mindfulness Center of Atlanta
The MCA mission is to increase the well-being and healing of those experiencing stress and distress, as well as to increase optimal functioning in the areas of health, education and work, using evidence based, integrative, mind-body practices, offered through training courses, intensive retreats and introductory workshops in mindfulness.
The MCA’s primary interest and passion is to support healing, integration and equilibrium within the individual, society and the natural world by increasing awareness of and care for our inner and outer landscapes.
Retreats
We offer several retreats focused on Mindfulness-Based Stressed Reduction (MBSR). We offer one-day or multi-day retreat options.
Courses
We offer an eight-week MBSR course several times a year. We also offer a teacher training for those who would like to teach mindfulness to others.
Psychotherapy
We offer mindfulness-informed individual psychotherapy, specializing in trauma, chronic stress, addiction, anxiety and depression.
“Mindfulness is simply being aware of what is happening right now without wishing it were different; enjoying the pleasant without holding on when it changes (which it will); being with the unpleasant without fearing it will always be this way (which it won’t).”
– James Baraz
About Us
The Mindfulness Center of Atlanta (MCA) was founded in 2009 to help optimize health, education and work using the teachings and practices of mindfulness.
“Through Mark and the Mindfulness Center of Atlanta, I learned how to simplify my life and live in the present. With daily mindfulness meditation, the stressors of life just roll off me now.”
– Kelly (Teacher)
