Has anyone attended or know of anyone who has attended this clinic? I have been reading one of Jon Kabat-Zinn's books on mindfulness meditation as a means to cope with stress/chronic illness, and thought I might really benefit from learning this practice. The clinic has space left for their next session starting in April and I have an aunt living nearby I could live with.

Sounds like a good idea.

Learning to manage stress and anxiety is an important part of getting stable.

I have studied at courses based on Jon Kabat Zins mindfullness premise and have watched videos of some of the classes- they seem absolutely superb and geared towards people like us with IBS pain and stress inducing problems. I find his program to be extremely helpful although I've never been to the clinic itself. If you go, let us know how it is!
