ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR: Shell Fischer, founder of Mindful Shenandoah Valley, offers 25 years of mindfulness practice and study. She's a full teacher and senior practitioner with the Insight Meditation Community of Washington, D.C., (IMCW), trained in the two-year Meditation Teacher Training Institute in Washington, D.C. by IMCW's founder and guiding teacher, Dr. Tara Brach - one of the nation's leading Vipassana teachers. She's also a 1993 graduate of Naropa University, and a graduate of the MBSR teacher training program led by Jon Kabat-Zinn, founder of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction and the Stress Clinic at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center. Along with Insight Meditation, she also teaches MBSR as an education partner with Valley Health, a regional six-hospital system in the Shenandoah Valley.

Shell's main goal as a teacher is to pass along the many ways in which mindfulness can help reduce your stress, as well as guide you in generating an abundance of kindness and compassion for yourself, which can greatly increase your health and well-being.

The photos shown here are mostly taken on Cloverdale Farm in Winchester, VA, where Shell lives with her husband, Brent, and their two cats.
