Everybody is talking about the atmosphere heating up. The temperature worldwide seems to be rising towards boiling point.

We all are familiar with meteorological climate change, and human emissions causing potentially disastrous changes.

But how about the emotional atmosphere? How much do we know about the global emotional climate having changed? The anger, frustration, hostility and negativity of the unrelenting data emission from our screens is affecting our emotional stability and well-being.

Is the consumption of negative messaging comparable to the chronic inhalation of toxic fumes?

Can mindfulness meditation help? Or is mindfulness just a sticking plaster to keep societies silenced?

Join us for our next event in the Mindful Workplace Community where Florian discusses these issues and offers some possible solutions to dealing with the relentless data streams, and how our emotional atmosphere can change.

This event is free to MWC annual members, and £15.00 to non-subscription followers, guests and friends or via Donation.
