This workshop will step back to take an overview of the demands of our contemporary world. It will explore the growing field of mindfulness and its applications. What have we learned from research, from developing and teaching mindfulness programs, and from our own mindfulness practice? How can we unlock all that we have learned to create a world without the devastating effects of depression, where people enjoy mental health and well-being and are resourced to meet the challenges of the next 50 years.<\/div><div class=\"ewa-rteLine\">\u00a0<\/div><div class=\"ewa-rteLine\">Whether we are aware of it or not, the world\u2019s most pressing issues affect us directly and indirectly&#8211;climate change, an explosion of information, new technology that is driving many societal trends, the prevailing culture. This resonance may be urgent and loud, like someone living in an area where crops are failing because of water shortages, or persistent and pervasive, such as the algorithms feeding us information via our digital devices, or subtle but constant, as in the background pollution of a busy city.<\/div><div class=\"ewa-rteLine\">\u00a0<\/div><div class=\"ewa-rteLine\">Many of the pressing issues in our world will need to be solved by human minds and hearts. This is true for smaller, local issues in our lives, and the larger issues facing not only our generation but also future generations. There are reasons to be hopeful. Throughout history well-trained minds working individually and together have addressed major health problems like smallpox, HIV-AIDS, and most recently COVID-19. Our forebears learned to farm so people could rely on food being available year around. More and more people around the world are living in economic conditions that create financial and material security. Nations and international bodies have created treaties and structures for preventing wars and maintaining security.<\/div><div class=\"ewa-rteLine\">\u00a0<\/div><div class=\"ewa-rteLine\">Being the change you\u2019d like to see in the world is keeping yourself, other people, and our planet in mind, with the compass of your values, a map, and a route map. With curiosity, open-heartedness, and courage to keep learning as you move through different transitions in your life. Imagine an education that helps us develop the wisdom to see how things are, the imagination to see how we\u2019d like them to be, and the creativity and courage to create the world we\u2019d like to live in.<\/div><div class=\"ewa-rteLine\">\u00a0<\/div><div class=\"ewa-rteLine\">The workshop sets out an approach to teaching mindfulness as a transformative, lifelong practice. It will provide a map and route plan for anyone learning or teaching mindfulness. It draws on the mutuality and dialogue between ancient contemplative traditions and modern psychology to provide a road map, compass and a set of foundational skills for life. More than this, it considers how these skills can help us to flourish in the midst of the challenges of the contemporary world. This synthesis of ancient and modern can clarify intentionality, offer an ethical framework and provide a novel perspective on what it means to be \u201cthe change we\u2019d like to see in the world.\u201d<\/div><div class=\"ewa-rteLine\">\u00a0<\/div><div class=\"ewa-rteLine\">The workshop is based on Willem Kuyken\u2019s research program at the University of Oxford, the 2019 book, co-authored with Christina Feldman <a href=\"https:\/\/www.guilford.com\/books\/Mindfulness\/Feldman-Kuyken\/9781462540105\">Mindfulness. Ancient Wisdom Meets Modern Psychology<\/a> and two forthcoming books on Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy for life. Jon Kabat-Zinn has described these ideas as: &#8220;A tour de force that elaborates in exquisite detail \u2013 yet with utter accessibility and clarity \u2013 what mindfulness is and where it comes from, as well as its profound ethical foundation, clinical applications, growing evidence base, and potential for healing.&#8221; A large body of research is attests to mindfulness-based cognitive-therapy\u2019s effectiveness in preventing depression, promoting mental health and in the latest randomized controlled trial, enabling flourishing.<\/div><div class=\"ewa-rteLine\">\u00a0<\/div><div class=\"ewa-rteLine\"><strong>Learning and teaching methods<\/strong><\/div><div class=\"ewa-rteLine\">\u00a0<\/div><div class=\"ewa-rteLine\">The workshop will include teaching, opportunities for discussion, small group work and mindfulness practice.
