We are delighted to announce the launch of the Mindfulness Association’s Mindfulness in Action Conference which will be delivered online from the 24th – 27th June 2021. After months of preparation we are now able to share with you what Kristine and the team have planned for this unique and important collaborative event.

The theme for the conference is Engaged Mindfulness & Conscious Social Change and Kristine has brought together a range of inspiring speakers to explore how we as Mindfulness practitioners can move beyond mindfulness and turn our practice outwards towards a more inclusive, environmentally conscious and compassionate society. The Mindfulness Association will be donating 50% of the profits of this conference to the Everyone Project Charity, which funds mindfulness courses to be offered to people who are facing adversity, working in collaboration with designated charities or other organisations. Read all about the conference HERE.

We wholeheartedly welcome you to join this conference to learn, practice and connect together in shared vision and intention towards a flourishing world!

We are living in extraordinary times that are challenging in many ways. Can we use this as an opportunity to reflect on what we need to flourish – both individually and collectively? And what can mindfulness and compassion practice offer us as we explore this together? Let’s open discussion and generate inspiration around pathways towards a more inclusive, sustainable and compassionate society, as a precious inheritance for future generations.

Over four decades of research into secular mindfulness in the Western world, has illustrated that this practice can be an important tool for self-healing and transformation in our individual lives. It can help us feel and function better, as well as help us be kinder to ourselves. But perhaps, its potential is even bigger than this.

As we sit to practise, we intend to be with ‘what is’ with kindness in the midst of the challenges of our life, and to become more aware of unhelpful, limiting conditioning. We also aim to nurture a compassionate heart and wish all beings to be well. In this way, the practice can help to develop greater awareness of our interconnectedness and interdependency. We may find that no one’s life is untouched by the ‘pain of our world’ as Joanna Macy calls it. And although there are great differences in how much each of us is affected by it directly, what next steps might come out of this realisation that we’re deeply connected in seen and unseen ways?

During this conference we’ll be supported by a range of inspiring practitioners to delve into some deep explorations together. How can the values we each hold and the qualities we aim to develop, help us consider the society we live in and some of the causes of thriving and suffering? How can we as mindfulness practitioners embolden each other with open-minded support – while also tending to our own troubled hearts – so we can act skillfully in the world in connectedness, courage and power?

This is what we will explore in the Engaged Mindfulness and Conscious Social Change conference, online, in the summer of this year.

Speakers

This conference brings together the following experienced and inspiring speakers to explore these big questions with us, each with their own way into the dynamic topic of engaged mindfulness and conscious social change.

deborah eden
  • Deborah Eden Tull, the author of Relational Mindfulness, will speak of how we can wake up together by embracing courage, possibility and relational intelligence in these changing times.
jamie bristow
  • Jamie Bristow, founder and director of the Mindfulness Initiative which has supported mindfulness practice entering over a dozen national parliaments, explores how we can find ‘Agency in Urgent Times’.
lucy draper clarke
  • South Africa-based researcher-practitioner Lucy Draper-Clarke will explore ‘Joy as Insurrection’ and how engaging from love, compassion and joy can help maintain momentum and connection in social change
Paula Haddock
  • Paula Haddock, co-organiser of the Mindfulness and Social Change Network, will explore what the mindfulness movement can learn from social change practice and how we can build anti-oppression pedagogical practice into mindfulness spaces.
  • Rhonda Magee, Professor of Law at the University of San Francisco and author of the internationally acclaimed book The Inner Work of Racial Justice: Healing Ourselves and Transforming Our Communities Through Mindfulness (2019), will present a talk entitled “A Change ‘Gon Come: Reckoning with White Supremacy, Climate Change and Economic Exploitation through Engaged Mindfulness”.
steven stanley
  • Steven Stanley, Lecturer at Cardiff University and Principal Investigator of the three-year research project Mapping Mindfulness in the UK, will share how mindfulness may be taking us ‘Beyond Therapy’ as he is bringing his research project to a close.
Lama-Yeshe-Rinpoche
  • A special teaching will be offered by Lama Yeshe Losal Rinpoche, retired Abbot of Samye Ling Monastery and patron of the Mindfulness Association. He will also be heading the graduation ceremony of the Aberdeen University Masters Students – and participants of the conference can attend a series of dissertation presentations from the graduating students.

They are joining the Mindfulness Association team of Aesha, Alan, Choden, Dean, Fay, Heather, Jacky and Kristine in offering a series of twelve exciting masterclasses. Each day will start with a morning practice and the Saturday evening will give an opportunity for connection and networking around a series of topics that will arise from our time together.

Finally, the Mindfulness Association is donating 50% of the profits of this conference to the Everyone Project Charity, which funds mindfulness courses to be offered to people who are facing adversity, working in collaboration with designated charities or other organisations. We will start the conference on Thursday by celebrating the work of this Charity, bringing together people who have taught on these courses and participants who have benefited, to celebrate the value, challenges and learnings of mindfulness in the community.

We wholeheartedly welcome you to join this conference to learn, practice and connect together in shared vision and intention towards a flourishing world!
