David Nichtern will be joined by Professor Robert Thurman in a discussion centering around lineage and tradition - and how it can be passed along to the current generation. Mindfulness is a direct extract from the Buddhist tradition - which can be presented as part of that tradition or as a universal and “secular”, scientifically verified and broadly practiced technique to increase our ability to be more focused and open-minded, less reactive and stressed out, and more compassionate to ourselves and others.
