Talk
Jon Kabat-Zinn - Mindfulness, Healing, and Wisdom in a Time of COVID-19
Kabat-Zinn on what mindfulness practice can offer during periods of collective uncertainty.
About the teacher
A quiet, direct path.
Jon Kabat-Zinn founded the Stress Reduction Clinic at the University of Massachusetts Medical School in 1979, developing Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) as a structured, secular adaptation of Buddhist meditation for clinical use — the programme that effectively launched the modern mindfulness movement in medicine and psychology. His research helped establish meditation as a subject of serious scientific study rather than only a spiritual practice.
Now an emeritus professor, he keeps a limited public schedule of keynotes, media appearances and podcasts rather than a regular teaching calendar, including a retreat with his son Will Kabat-Zinn at Omega Institute and an IMS retreat for MBSR and MBCT professionals.
