The Presentation

Mindfulness as a Pathway to Flow
‍
The skilful management of attention is critically important in this high tech, fast-paced world we live in. The practice of mindfulness teaches awareness of where attention is, and how to bring it back when it inevitably wanders. Through cultivating the skill of mindfulness, a clear pathway to flow unfolds. In this presentation, this pathway will be discussed, and how mindfulness and flow training can enrich everyday life will be explored.
