Conference

Our Intention

Our intention is to touch into our deepest Self- a sense of Presence through the practice and learning of Mindfulness, Compassion and Wisdom.

What would it mean to live and serve from our deepest Self- Presence and develop as a kinder community?

Our Invitation

An invitation to all mental health professionals, educators, leaders, change makers, parents and anyone who wants to connect to their essential Self.

We may not know but there is something that we contribute together in the collective field through our presence and silence which can be deeply healing for us as individuals and as a collective.

We invite each of you to contribute to this space that we seek to hold and move into our lives with greater clarity, nourishment, compassion and love.

Deepen

Deepen into Self and tap into our collective wisdom

Connect

Be

Testimonials from the last conference

Three wonderful days of transformation & connecting with people. A rare event in India & is comparable to Mind and Life Conferences organised by the office of H.H. Dalai Lama. Mindfulness is a subject where the blend of indian contemplative tradition is happening with the scientific methodological approaches of the West. Grateful to Just Being team for organising and creating this wonderful experience.

Anil, Corporate Trainer

Connecting with myself ! My key takeaways - value of compassion in daily living, paying attention to the other in the relational space

Navneesh, Cellular healing Therapist

At this conference I learnt about psychology much more than what I did at my university . My takeaway is acceptance of life the way it is. Able to connect with myself . A beautiful experience.

Ronika, Tanushree & Monica- Psychology students, Pune University

A great experience of learning! Listening to various speakers from various disciplines affirmed my belief of the value of an interdisciplinary approach. I am able to relate it to my work area which is in the field of people engagement and eager to apply what I learnt at the conference
