Barnes & NobleMindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) Summer Sessions First Class: In-Person Wed. Afternoons
In-person Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction sessions take place at The Marsh in Minnetonka, Minnesota. This evidence-based course builds skills in mindful awareness, steadier attention, and emotional regulation, and has been linked to improvements for stress, anxiety, depression, chronic pain, and hypertension. The learning experience is interactive and practical, with guided meditation, gentle stretching and mindful yoga, group conversation that brings mindfulness into everyday life, and at-home practice supported by downloadable audio recordings. The series begins with an orientation, continues through eight weekly classes, and includes a full-day retreat to deepen practice. Registration is available after the orientation, and participants will receive any important details from that session along with a connection to their facilitator before the first class. Instruction is led by Mariann Johnson and Chance York. This program is approved by the National Board for Health and Wellness Coaching for 28.5 continuing education units. Disability-related accommodations are available through the Bakken Center’s community relations office.
The Marsh✨ Intuition, Explained & Experienced: A two-hour interactive workshop
An interactive experience created to make intuitive practice feel understandable and approachable, welcoming both newcomers and those eager to deepen their exploration. It opens with a teaching segment that clarifies what intuitive work is and what it is not, emphasizing collaboration, consent, personal agency, and clear ethical boundaries. Rather than prediction or advice, the focus is on strengthening your ability to hear yourself. Participants receive a simple overview of modalities such as tarot, chakra awareness, aura exploration, and intuitive sessions, then shift from learning into practice with a brief grounding exercise. The room then reconfigures into an experience guided at your own pace. Attendees move through immersive stations and also meet one on one for a short private session in a chosen modality. Scheduling is arranged in advance, and each person follows a smooth flow with a personalized timing card. Along the way, you might settle into a quiet reset in a salt room with audio guidance and reflective prompts, explore tarot imagery through hands-on questions that encourage personal meaning, map energy centers with color to notice where you feel open, low, or growing, and use color journaling to reflect on emotions and energetic boundaries. The one-on-one session is designed to offer a single clear insight and one practical next step, encouraging awareness without overwhelm. Every participant receives a journal and pen for notes, plus a handwritten keyword and an integration prompt to take with them. The gathering closes with a short integration practice and time to reflect, supporting a steady, clear, and connected finish in a setting that feels safe, supported, and guided by your own inner wisdom.
