Please join Richard Edwards, the director of the Mindfulness Initiative who will be exploring:

Is Mindfulness in Westminster Simply Unrealistic?

A poignant question given the importance of this year’s election.

With increased global conflict, parliamentarians face unprecedented external threats to their wellbeing and safety – in a toxic working environment where complaints of sexual harassment and bullying are unacceptably high. Can Mindfulness in Westminster bring any transformation beyond small pockets of improved individual wellbeing in politicians?

During this webinar Richard will be looking at the formative and groundbreaking work that has been done in Westminster. To hold the testimony of those who have taken part, and to look forward at the potential for transformation and deep connection, starting in a year of significant change.
