Event Description
Whether you're a researcher interested in exploring your work through the lens of mindfulness practices, a meditator keen to learn about the latest scientific research or you're interested in learning how mindfulness can positively benefit your personal wellness, we hope you'll join us on Wednesday, March 27, 2024 from 7 – 8:30 p.m. ET for this live-event.
Join leading experts to explore how science and mindfulness are being integrated to address our current global crises, with specific foci on climate and mental health/burnout.
This event brings together in conversation Dr. Elli Weisbaum, PhD in Medical Science PhD and Masters in Environmental Studies (MES) and Br. Phap Linh, Zen Buddhist Monk and composer, with a Masters in Mathematics from Cambridge and event host Mark Miller, PhD.
Br. Phap Linh will present a broad vision for the field, and Dr. Weisbaum will give an overview of findings from a recent research study that exemplifies the interaction of these fields to innovate scientific research design and enhance wellness. Data from this study shows that a mindfulness program, based on the teaching of scholar, peace activist and Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh, can increase physicians’ perceived sense of wellness and enhance communication with their patients and colleagues.
In this session we will:
> Explore how scientific approaches intersect with Engaged and Applied Mindfulness practices to address current world crises
> Provide practical examples on how to adapt and implement mindfulness trainings and practices, particularly the teaching of Thich Nhat Hanh, in your daily personal and professional life
> Learn how researchers work directly with Thich Nhat Hanh's International Plum Village Community to adapt, develop, implement and study Engaged and Applied Mindfulness in the contexts of healthcare, educational, business settings and beyond
> Examine how mindfulness can positively benefit personal wellness and interpersonal relationships
> Explore scientific-evidence that shows mindfulness when applied to daily activities such as during commutes, coffee breaks or the beginnings of meetings can positively benefit work-life balance and reduce anxiety and stress
