Presents A
Public talk by Dr Jon Kabat-Zinn
Arriving at
Your Own Door: Mindfulness, Healing and the “Full Catastrophe”
of Everyday Life
In this talk, Dr Jon Kabat-Zinn
will reflect on practical lessons from his experience
over the past 30 years working with a broad range of colleagues
around the world bringing mindfulness as a universal expression
and pathway of dharma into the mainstream of medicine,
psychology, and society, and to document its potentially
unique beneficial effects. Dr Kabat-Zinn will focus primarily
on exploring the heart of mindfulness as a practice, its
relationship to both physical and emotional healing as
documented by scientific studies, and on how to find both
refuge and leverage within the practice for facing what
Zorba the Greek called the full catastrophe of the human
condition – and for working with it effectively, with
self-compassion, kindness, and wisdom.
