Pre-Course Questionnaire
Thank you for filling out this form. This form serves to let the instructor know a little bit about your background as well as your intentions/goals before starting course. We realize the personal nature of these questions and therefore we ensure your responses will never be shared. You may wish to sit in a quite space to fill in this form, which can take up to 20 minutes.

After I read your questionnaire, I will email you directly to schedule a 15-minute zoom meeting.

Informed Consent: By checking the box below, I indicate that the risks, benefits and possible side effects of the 8-week program have been explained to me. I understand that the components of the program include skill training in a variety of mindfulness meditation modalities and mindful movements, for which I’m responsible, as needed, to modify or adapt, with the support of my instructor. It is also my understanding that if, for any reason, I am unable to, or think it is unwise for me to engage in these practices and exercises either during class or in home practice, that I am under no obligation to engage with these skills, nor will I hold the Marion Institute or the program instructor responsible for any injury or incapacity incurred from the practices or movements. Finally, I understand and agree to the commitment to attend the 8-weekly sessions, the all-day class, and complete the home practice assignments (of 45-60+ minutes per day), as part of the 8-week MBSR program.*
