What is the future of mindfulness beyond Buddhism?
Research output: Contribution to conference › Paper
Contemporary mindfulness-based courses have emerged from religious contemplative roots. Those traditions have rich and longstanding frameworks to guide practitioners into deep transformation over long time periods. As secular mindfulness matures beyond introductory programmes, what might a deeper mindfulness practice look like? What place, if any, might retreat practice have? By shedding some key aspects of Buddhist heritage, what does contemporary mindfulness lose and gain? What are the possibilities and the pitfalls as the mindfulness community grows a new generation of teachers? Join us for this discussion with three mindfulness teachers, experienced in both mainstream mindfulness-based approaches and in Buddhist practice.
