Sussex Mindfulness Centre Annual Conference 2020

We are currently still planning to go ahead with the SMC conference on June 12th 2020. However, this will depend on the advice given to us locally and nationally over the coming weeks which we will keep closely under review. If you have already booked a ticket, we will let you know if we need to change the plan.

Friends Meeting House, Ship Street, Brighton BN1 1AF

Friday 12th June 2020

9:30am to 4:30pm (registration from 9am)

Critics of mindfulness have accused it of encouraging a passive, introspective approach to injustice, inequality and the climate emergency. Is this fair ? As these problems become more acute in our times, this conference challenges us to use mindfulness to be active and engaged in response.

Keynote Speakers:

• Byron Lee: 'An Anti-oppressive Mindfulness - is a radical agenda needed to shape the future?'

• Yanai Postelnik: 'Mindfulness in the Time of Extinction: contemplating the inseparability of inner peace and outer transformation.'

• Clara Strauss & Robert Marx: 'How can we create a more mindful workplace?'

The conference is free for SMC advocates and for current/recent (over the last year) Sussex Partnership service users, SMC Trust Approved Mindfulness Teachers/ Practitioners and trainees, and SMC researcher staff and students. The conference is £20 for other Sussex Partnership staff and £75 for the public. You will be provided with a Continued Professional Development certificate. Tea and coffee will be provided. Lunch is not provided but is easily available locally.
