“This (workplace) programme would be very beneficial to anybody…who wants to create “space” in their life to pause and breathe, but think they can’t, or don’t know how to; and/or want a safe platform where they can be themselves without judgment with colleagues.”
“it’s useful for your personal and work life… In particular during the challenging times we’ve been operating in (…COVID-19 lockdowns, friends and family who have been ill or at risk) now is a better time than ever”
Not everything that is faced can be changed but nothing can be changed until it is faced – James Baldwin
I co-organise the Mindfulness and Social Change Network which is a global community exploring the potential for secular mindfulness training and practice to contribute to more sustainable, caring and socially just societies. We explore how mindfulness connects with the following themes:
- social and political change
- equity, diversity and inclusion
- sustainability
- social change practice
- organisations and communities
