How do different perspectives shape mindfulness? In this strand, take a look at mindfulness-based approaches in light of today's big challenges, like social inequality, racial injustice, and the ecological crisis, and how these affect individuals and groups. In the keynote "Deepening the Roots of Socially-Engaged Mindfulness: Awareness-based Support for Change and Transformation in Troubled Times," Rhonda Magee examines how mindfulness may be the key to developing the moral flexibility and empathy needed to better manage today’s challenges. The address describes why and how socio-ethical mindfulness can maximise our capacity to choose actions that connect rather than divide, and to deepen the roots of wellbeing for us all in these times.

This event is part of the International Conference on Mindfulness (ICM:2024) post-conference programme. Open to all.
