Speaker: Shamash Alidina
Can you believe it?
Sunday Assembly is 4 years old and we’re going to party in style! Bring your party hats, put on your Sunday best and let’s get ready to celebrate us celebrating life as a community for all this time!
As well as having a party, we’re going to hear from one of our favourite speakers of all time, Shamash Alidina. He wowed us at the Conference Called Wonder and we’re so excited to have him at Sunday Assembly London. Shamash is speaking on kindfulness: a meditation and way of living that’s relaxing, calming and fun!
Mindfulness is so last year! Start 2017 with a relaxed, fun and transformative attitude to life, with a powerful combination of mindfulness, kindness and compassion. Mindfulness comes mostly from ancient eastern traditions, and science finds it to be effective for better health, wellbeing and performance. But…these ancient traditions also included lots of self-kindness and friendliness towards yourself and others, which can easily be lost through just trying to practice mindfulness alone.
- Discover how to go from being a control freak to a kindness freak.
- Experience a kindfulness exercise to cultivate joy, clarity and resilience.
- Discover how kindfulness can help reduce suffering.
- Understand why science is implementing kindness and compassion practices to overcome stress, anxiety, depression, and build a more resilience brain.
What a treat we’re in for! And if that’s not enough, we’ll be singing our hearts out, hearing stories from members of the community, drinking a vat of tea/coffee and eating a heck of a lot of biscuits afterwards too.
BSL interpretation will be provided.
We can’t wait to see you there and have fun celebrating life with you all!
