Research
We are delighted to announce that a large scale, long term research study is about to start in relation to our Four Level Pathway. This research is led by Dr Oleg Medvedev (link: https://profiles.waikato.ac.nz/oleg.medvedev) and Katya Gus of Waikato University in New Zealand. Oleg is also the Editor of the Mindfulness Journal in which Choden’s recent articles have been published.
As a participant in this course you will be invited, with no obligation to do so, to take part in this research. Find out more here.
We are very excited to be developing a strong evidence base and hope that you will be willing to support us in this.
