With Dr Ruth Baer
Mindfulness means paying close attention to things as they are right now, in the present moment. It means noticing our own thoughts, feelings and physical sensations, and the people and world around us, in a spirit of friendliness and curiosity. We all have this ability, but sometimes we go through life as if on automatic pilot, reacting to events and getting carried away by them without realising it. Practising mindfulness can help bring us back to our senses, quite literally, so we can learn to be more fully present in our lives.
This talk will explain how practising mindfulness can help you on your Oxford journey.
All students and staff are welcome to join for the talk and the buffet dinner afterwards. The buffet dinner is free for those who sign up for it via the meal booking system, and who attend. If you book but do not attend the talks, you will be charged for the meal.
