Classes, retreats and trainings with

Trish Magyari, MS--

Baltimore's most experienced MBSR teacher

"I'm thrilled that you've found yourself to this listing of mindfulness resources.  May they serve to bring you peace, ease and freedom from suffering.  Please contact me if I can be helpful to you in your journey towards health and wholeness.  

 MBSR is simply the best method I know for empowering you to develop a regular mindfulness meditation practice that is right for you (choosing from one of the 10+ mindfulness practices taught in the course) AS WELL AS learning to apply the principals of mindfulness to the challenges--both inner and outer--present in your everyday life.  Imagine doing all of this in a way that actually feels friendly and safe to your inner world, where awareness is cultivated along with compassion towards yourself--exactly as you are right now.  Most participants find they not only are more present and confident in their lives after my MBSR class but they also know and like themselves better, too!  Inner peace, calm, contentment, wisdom and friendliness to yourself and others are very common outcomes of the course, even when life circumstances don't change one bit--though they often do change for my participants, since they  see options more clearly and have the courage to make needed changes."

Trish Magyari, MS, CGC, MS has 34 years of meditation experience, has taught the MBSR course more than 50 times, and is trained in MBSR, MBCT and mindfulness-based psychotherapy. She has a Master’s degree in Genetic Counseling (1981) and recently completed a second Master’s in Clinical Community Counseling at JHU (2009).  Trained in MBSR in 1987, she completed the UMASS MBSR Teacher Development Intensive, their highest level of training, in 2000; since then she has facilitated MBSR groups in 6 clinical trials at NIH, Johns Hopkins Hospital, and University of Maryland Center for Integrative Medicine.    She is a practicing Quaker as well as a teacher with the Insight Meditation Community of Washington (IMCW).    Trish delights in helping others to increase their sense of wholeness and well-being in the world, and to find peace and contentment in the midst of life’s difficult challenges.
