Academic and Professional Presentations

Chris Kang will be busy with several key presentations over the next few months,introducing the vision, rationale, and principles of mindfulness in the context of an emerging contemplative science of mind. With this year of 2010 marking the beginning of what some commentators term the "decade of mindfulness", it seems pertinent and relevant to reflect anew on the art and science of mindfulness - sensitive to the multiple nuances, dimensions, connections, and contexts of theory and application. For this purpose, Chris will be speaking on and facilitating experiential exploration of mindfulness in these presentations:

Finding Common Ground: Mindfulness in Buddhism, Yoga and Cognitive Science. Mindfulness Meditation Trial Focus Group. The University of Queensland. April 2010.

Reclaiming Mindfulness: Towards a Contemplative Science of Mind for Human Flourishing. Alcohol and Drug Training Resource Unit Professional Development Workshop. Queensland Health. May 2010.

Mindfulness and Addictions: A Buddhist Perspective. Plenary Presentation. Australian Winter School Conference. Alcohol and Drug Foundation Queensland. June 2010.

Mindfulness for Human Flourishing: Towards a Contemplative Science of Mind. Professional Development Workshop. Alcohol and Drug Foundation Queensland. June 2010.

Do look out for more news and developments on these and possibly other events of our Collaborative. Stay blogged to our page.
