An antidote to fast living
The practice of mindfulness is one that has spread across Europe and America in recent years, partly through the teachings of Vietnamese monk Thich Nhat Hanh. Because of the slowing down that mindfulness encourages, it has come to be seen as the antidote to our fast-paced modern lives. For the first few months of 2015, Sister Jewel from Thich Nhat Hanh’s community will be in residence at the College supporting our Elmhirst Programme of short courses on Soul, Spirit and Story. Join us for this rare opportunity to learn mindfulness practice and how we might apply it to different areas of our lives.
