Modeled after the Stress Reduction Program at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, this course is a powerful way to take responsibility for your own health and well-being. Mindfulness is a way of relating directly the experiences of your life and re-discovering the skills to thrive during all of its challenges and joys. In this eight week class we will explore the time honored practices of mindfulness meditation and yoga to free ourselves from the vicious cycle of negative stress patterns. Two decades of published research has shown that this approach (MBSR) can lower stress and increase vitality and well-being.

With its spectacular natural scenery, pristine beaches, and gentle ocean breezes, Newport, RI, was the summer playground for many of America’s elite families, and by 1880, it had earned the title “Queen of Resorts.” Fashionable summer colonists including the Vanderbilts, Belmonts, and Astors, hired some of the nation’s leading architects, including Richard Morris Hunt, Richard Upjohn, and McKim, Mead & White, to design their summer “cottages” along Newport’s shore. These houses were the backdrops for lavish entertainment—debutante balls, weddings, and grand celebrations in honor of royalty. Through the lens of Newport’s most iconic buildings, Caitlyn Emery, Research and Interpretation Coordinator at The Preservation Society of Newport County, will examine some of the city’s most legendary personalities.
