Christian Meditation, Mental Health and Well Being - Don Boyle

Don Boyle, Chair of Mental Health WCCM, UK and Social Inclusion and Employment Coordinator with Oxleas NHS Foundation

As the concept of well-being becomes a central focus of public health policy there is a real opportunity to bring the practice of mediation to a wider public. But how do we discuss the benefits of meditation in an evidence based environment without reducing it to a technique? This workshop explores the results of a recent international survey of members of WCCM about their personal experiences of meditation, mental health and wellbeing.
