Common Ground: Mental Wellbeing & The Relief of Suffering

Join us Wednesday night, 11 March for a live panel discussion:
Mental Wellbeing & The Relief of Suffering.
Amid increasing rates of medication for mental illness, for things like depression and ADHD, and increasing aggression and division in politics and public discussion, people have sought different ways to relieve their own unease and distress, and to help others in a modern world where many are clearly in distress. What we can learn from them?
Join us for a compelling panel with an exercise physiologist, a practicing Buddhist, a positive psychologist and a registered psychologist on Wednesday, March 11. Held at The Base in Newcastle West and facilitated by Alex Morris, we aim to offer strategies and techniques from different experts to help us all learn about ways to relieve unease in our private lives and distress at the state of our society.
After the conversation with the guests, we will open the conversation up to the audience.

Common Ground’s Mission Statement

Worried by the heated and divisive state of public discussion today, Common Ground's Mission Statement is to build a conversational community to facilitate productive discussion and critical thinking about complex and controversial issues. People with different opinions and perspectives are welcome. Common Ground is a place to share and a space to listen.
Come along. Learn something new, make a friend! BYOB. (Bring Your Own Brain).
