ICM:2024 Donation Event: Keynote and Community Discussion – Strand 2: Contemplative, Philosophical, and Spiritual

February 13, 2025 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm GMT

This event is part of the International Conference on Mindfulness (ICM:2024) post-conference programme. Open to all.

Following on from the International Conference on Mindfulness (ICM:2024), hosted by Bangor University and the Mindfulness Network, we invite you to continue the conversation with a series of monthly, donation-based events. Each session will explore a different conference strand theme, featuring a recorded keynote presentation and a community discussion.

We’ll begin with a welcome, introduction, and brief mindfulness practice, followed by a 1-hour viewing of a keynote session and a 30-minute discussion. Join us to watch the keynotes freely and connect with fellow mindfulness practitioners – whether you attended the conference or not – everyone is welcome! Sessions will take place monthly from January to May 2025 for a chance to explore each strand. Please check the calendar for dates and register separately for each session.

Full access to all conference recordings, including keynotes, panel discussions, over 100 research presentations and bonus content, will be made available for purchase from January 2025.

Strand Two – Contemplative, philosophical, and spiritual approaches

How do we encounter mindfulness? For many, practicing mindfulness leads to profoundly meaningful experiences that are hard to put into words and challenging to measure. These experiences remain largely unexplored scientifically. In the keynote “Expanding Our Vision: What more can mindfulness help us see that could serve this changing world?” Catherine McGee explores how mindfulness practice is shaped by the frameworks and values that undergird our moment-to-moment enactment of perception. The session invites reflection on the possibilities of mindfulness to expand our senses of beauty and sacredness, empowering deeper values and meaningful participation in a changing world.

The event will take place online using Zoom from 7 – 8.45 pm UK time.

In addition, Catherine McGee will be leading a very special retreat in March titled Expanding Our Vision – What More Can Mindfulness Help Us See That Could Help Us Meet This Changing World? from 7–9 March 2025. Click the link for more information.
