Mindful Presentations by Mindful Researchers – Sunday, 30th November

Online Gathering, Sunday, 30th November
10:00 – 11:30 am EST / 4:00 – 5:30 pm CET / 8:30 – 10:00 pm IST

We are excited to relaunch our Mindful Presentations series and to open this renewed cycle of community-rooted exchange with a gathering facilitated by Rocío Martinez and Vani Gupta, featuring presentations by Marcia Cano and Monica Spalvieri: 

• Marcia will share insights from a series of co-design workshops with children, exploring the conditions that enabled engaged participation. Rooted in participatory and enactive approaches, the work emphasises an ethics of care and awareness of the asymmetries between researchers and participants. 
• Monica will offer reflections on her journey, weaving together biochemistry, martial arts and Zen meditation. Her talk explores how environment, habits and inner states influence gene expression through epigenetic mechanisms and how meditation can shift our physiology and harmonise body, mind, and environment.

Mindful Presentations invite authenticity, presence and participatory exchange in a reflective space. Together, we commit to deep listening, speaking mindfully and briefly, embracing silence and pauses, honouring confidentiality, and welcoming perspectives with openness.
