Festival of Ideas: Mindfulness to Enhance Resilience

Mindfulness has its roots in Buddhist meditation practices dating back thousands of years, but its modern practice was developed in the USA in the 1960s. A well-known definition of mindfulness is “paying attention on purpose, in the present moment, and nonjudgmentally” (Kabat-Zinn, 2003). Join Dr Matt Bowen exploring the key factors that enable mindfulness to enhance resilience – the one hour session will include a 20 minute mindfulness-meditation exercise.
