Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
* Assess patient satisfaction with a mindfulness course
* Identify barriers to participation in, or completion of, a mindfulness course
* Gather initial information to understand how a mindfulness course impacts RA symptoms
Participants will:
* Complete online questionnaires
* Attend two in-person study visits, involving a brief joint exam and blood draw
* Roughly half the participants will have the chance to participate in an 8-week online mindfulness course
* Roughly half the participants will be invited to participate in an online focus group following completion of the mindfulness course
Researchers will compare those in the mindfulness course with those receiving standard care in preparation for a larger future study to see how mindfulness impacts stress and inflammation in individuals with RA.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Mindfulness Program
Individuals in the mindfulness group will complete an 8-week mindfulness course that has been adapted for individuals with rheumatic diseases (MBSR-RD).
Mindfulness Program
Participants will receive eight weekly 2.5-hour group sessions and one day-long silent retreat, delivered online. Intervention content will include the MBSR program, which has been extensively studied with many different chronic conditions, and augmentations for individuals with rheumatic diseases. Each MBSR session will include meditation practices (e.g., sitting meditation, body scan, gentle hatha yoga, walking meditation, mindfulness of daily activities, awareness of pleasant and unpleasant events) and review of home practice. Participants will complete daily home practices for about 45 minutes per day and log their practice.
Treatment as Usual (TAU)
Individuals in the TAU group will continue engaging in routine care and be asked to refrain from participating in mindfulness programs during the trial.
