Opioid overuse and addiction is making the headlines these days and we’re just beginning to see more attention being paid to non-pharmaceutical treatments for relieving pain and reducing our dependence on drugs. In their fascinating book, "Mindfulness For Health", Vidyamala Burch and Danny Penman talk about their personal experiences using the science of Mindfulness to relieve their pain, while reducing stress and restoring wellbeing. We suggest you pick up the book and read the first two chapters for the first class. Mike Murray is a Clinical Psychologist. He has studied and practiced Mindfulness and healing for over thirty years. This Study Group is for those over 50, and will meet on Wednesday from April 18-May 23.
