About this Event
The Mindfulness field is continually evolving with new research and types of practices being studied.
MindfulNEXT will examine the latest research in the field, taking attendees through both the science and techniques, while also discussing what the findings from these latest studies might mean for one’s personal practice and/or the field at large.
This year we will discuss new findings about what an ideal “dose” of mindfulness might be, mindfulness for trauma and addiction, and whether workplace mindfulness, virtual reality mindfulness and apps are helpful.
We’re sure to have an interesting discussion as well as guided versions of very practical exercises that can help in living a fulfilling life!
Dr. Julie Brefczynski-Lewis will describe her own research at the University of West Virginia as well as teach exercises now being studied as the "next frontier" in Mindfulness research.
TICKETS for this COSI Science Festival event will be available starting Monday March 13 through 7PM on Thursday May 4.
