A day of practice, teaching and discussion

Led by: John Peacock

Online via Zoom

Who is this for?
This would be suitable for anyone involved in teaching, or training to teach, mindfulness; or anyone with a particular interest in the Buddhist underpinnings of mindfulness practice.

Even though many of us deliver entirely secular MBCT or MBSR programmes, many of the ideas in contemporary mindfulness-based programmes make more sense when we understand their origins and intentions.

John Peacock is one of the few people who can expertly make this bridge and we are delighted to welcome her back again to run this event.

Trained initially in the Tibetan Gelukpa tradition in India, he subsequently spent time in Sri Lanka studying Theravāda.

He went on to be an Associate Director of the Oxford Mindfulness Centre, co-direct the Master of Studies programme in MBCT at the University of Oxford. John is retired now retired from academia and continues to teach meditation and courses on Buddhism and Western philosophy internationally.
