When: 17 Aug 2022
Where: Online Event
Tutors: Chloe Asker, Rebecca Crane
About the event:
Chloe says: The zine ‘Journeys with mindfulness’ is a creative output from my doctoral research, which explored the therapeutic cultures and experiences of mindfulness and meditation. The zine contains six stories from participants about their journeys and experiences with mindfulness. These experiences demonstrate the ways in which mindfulness becomes integrated into the everyday lives of people who practice it, shaping their ways of being in the world and subsequently transforming their lives. I wanted to share these stories more widely and as I grew increasingly frustrated with the bulky and dense format of a doctoral thesis, I sought to create a creative, impactful output from the research that would be short, accessible, enjoyable to read, interactive, and easy to disseminate. This presentation will explore the conception, development and co-production of the zine, alongside presenting research from my doctoral thesis.
Rebecca Crane, Director of the Centre for Mindfulness Research and Practice, Bangor University, whose work inspired Chloe, will also be joining us to lead short practice.
