Mindfulness: A Pathway to Presence (Perspectives, Practices & Applications in Mental Health & Community)

The first of its kind in India that had over 200 people attending and speakers from around the world, this international Conference focused on honouring various perspectives on mindfulness, philosophical as well as theoretical, and to bring together various evidence-based mindfulness approaches in therapy, counselling and community under one roof. Through diversity we hoped to get a sense of that ONE TASTE, of `beingness' or Presence and touch into the essence of the practice of mindfulness that becomes the impetus for ourselves and the people we serve. 7 to 9 October, 2016 Yashada, Pune
