Revolutionary Wakefulness: A Conversation with Jon Kabat-Zinn

 

We’ll bring our milestone edition to a close with a very special pre-recorded conversation with Jon Kabat-Zinn, Founder of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, screened in the Barbirolli Room.

 

Inclusion also means honouring those who paved the way, and we’re delighted that Jon is able to join us and connect with everyone at the festival in this meaningful way.

 

Jon discusses the relevance of mindfulness in today’s world: The power of individual experience within a wider field of collective responsibility and the value of embodied practice. This allows intrinsic wisdom to emerge that helps us truly see one another, leading to what he calls revolutionary wakefulness - wisdom and compassion as the default mode of humanity.

 

This inspiring talk offers plenty of questions to help us reflect on how, together, we can truly increase inclusion in mindfulness.  

 

A meaningful close to a meaningful day!
