The Manchester Mindfulness Festival
October 21, 2023
£35
Following two successful events, we are delighted to announce that the third edition of the Manchester Mindfulness Festival will take place on Saturday 21 October 2023 at the Bridgewater Hall (Barbirolli and Circle Foyer).
Theme: Keeping Mindfulness Relevant
The Manchester Mindfulness Festival is an independently-organised event that aims to serve the community with a rich programme filled with highly informative mindfulness-based talks and workshops, making mindfulness more easily available to everyone and inspiring ripples across the region and beyond.
The festival enables many connections, leading to the creation of community initiatives, creative partnerships, and other projects based on the social application of mindfulness, a practice that often appears as me-centric due to its inward focus but can significantly contribute to a more inclusive world.
