Meditation as a Healing Response to Trauma

September 17, 2020 by katecoombs Leave a Comment

AN ONLINE SYMPOSIUM AND WORKSHOP HOSTED BY MEDITATIO

The practice of meditation within a cultural and wisdom tradition has been shown to help refugees heal these invisible wounds of trauma.

In 2019, the UN refugee agency reported 26 million refugees and over 4 million asylum-seekers worldwide. We need a public mental health response to help forcibly displaced individuals to heal from trauma.

Meditatio is convening leaders in the field of meditation, mind-body medicine, and global mental health to explore meditation as a healing response to trauma. All those interested in learning about the healing practice of meditation and an effective way of sharing with refugees and other survivors of trauma are welcome to attend.

Meditation, Wellbeing and More

June 11, 2020 by katecoombs Leave a Comment

A new online course by Jim Green.

Meditation, Wellbeing and More has been designed to help you explore a range of concepts associated with health, wellbeing, human development and personal growth, alongside the practice of meditation. Meditation has long been recognised as something that can support personal wellbeing.

The course encourages you to reflect on what we might mean by wellbeing, and to take up – or continue – meditation. Engaging with the course will open the possibility of discovering that there is much more for us to know about ourselves and about the world (only now in a quite different way) – and much more for us to let go of.

Contemplative Revolution Podcast: Ian McGilchrist — Asymmetry of the Brain and Human Meaning

October 11, 2019 by Leonardo Correa Leave a Comment

Almost everything you think you know about differences between the brain hemispheres is wrong. The topic was taken over and distorted by pop psychology,and hence understandably, but nonetheless irrationally, neglected by the mainstream.So why is the brain, an organ that exists only to make connections, divided and asymmetrical? What does it tell us about the structure of the world we inhabit?

Iain McGilchrist will argue that lateralisation is now the topic in neuroscience of greatest significance for understanding the human condition. Dr Iain McGilchristis a former Fellow of All Souls College,Oxford, a Fellow of the RoyalCollege of Psychiatrists, a Fellowof the Royal Society of Arts, andformer Consultant Psychiatrist and Clinical Director at theBethlem Royal & Maudsley Hospital, London. He has been a Research Fellow in neuroimaging at Johns Hopkins Hospital,Baltimore. He is best known asthe author of The Master and his Emissary: The Divided Brain and the Making of the Western World(Yale 2009).
