Discovering Joy in Troubled Times
“Discovering Joy in Troubled Times” was the theme of our eleventh annual conference, which took place in Brighton on 9 May 2025. Mark Williams, author of bestselling “Mindfulness: Guide to Finding Peace in a Frantic World” was one of our keynote speakers who helped us explore this theme.
Future of Mindfulness
Our last conference, in May 2024 was on the Future of Mindfulness. Many attendees stayed for the all-day retreat the following day. If you missed it, you can read short summaries of the talks and watch the keynote speeches here.
What is Mindful Culture?
The previous conference in March 2023 asked the question “What is mindful culture?” Speakers set out to answer this question. You can get a flavour of the discussions of this conference from this blog post and see some of the keynote presentations here.
