Talk
Introduction to Mindful Awareness | Diana Winston - UCLA Health
A clinically-oriented introduction to mindful awareness practice from UCLA Mindful.
About the teacher
A quiet, direct path.
Diana Winston trained in Buddhist meditation, including ordination in the Theravada tradition, before moving into secular mindfulness instruction as director of the Mindful Awareness Research Center at UCLA (UCLA Mindful). Her work translates contemplative technique into a clinical, evidence-informed frame accessible without a religious context.
She leads free weekly meditations at the Hammer Museum (also offered virtually), alongside new classes and retreats planned for 2026 through UCLA Health and a retreat with Spirit Rock.
