ReThinking Mindfulness
Tradition | (pop)Culture | Wellbeing
May 23-24, 2014 | Massachusetts Institute of Technology
The mindfulness movement has grown in a remarkable way in the past few years and is accelerating. Where has this movement come from? Where is this movement going? What has been accomplished by it? What are the further applications? What impact can it have on the wellbeing of individuals and of society as a whole? ReThinking Mindfulness seeks to promote a probing and constructive conversation — and as provocative as necessary — about the mindfulness movement.
Join some of the leading thinkers and practitioners to explore and enhance our understanding of this modern phenomenon with ancient roots.
