[9th Summit] Final Weeks to save $200 Early Bird ends August 30

Hello Mindful Leaders,

How can the mindfulness industry ensure that mindfulness practices remain truly secular and independent from their Buddhist origins, while still preserving the integrity and transformative potential of these practices? What does the latest research tell us about employee engagement and wellbeing, MBSR for patients with MS and rheumatoid arthritis, and self-administered mindfulness techniques in reducing stress? How does Due Quach integrate neuroscience and mindfulness to utlilize vulnerability and community to enhance leadership?
