 Mindfulness for Life – Mark Williams

Join Action for Happiness for an inspiring and mindful evening with Professor Mark Williams as he explores how mindfulness has the potential to transform our lives and help create a happier a more caring society.

Mark will introduce the concept of mindfulness, including some practical examples, and show how it can help us cope better with problems and discover a greater sense of choice in how we lead our lives.

He will also share his perspective on the wider mindfulness movement and its increasing uptake in schools, communities, boardrooms and beyond…
