About the event:

 

Meet Dr Alison Evans and Professor Willem Kuyken, co-founders of the Mindfulness-Network (MN). Alison and Willem will be sharing memories and stories about the early beginnings of the MN. They will be reflecting in conversation with the host Ken Lunn, current Director of the MN. They will travel from the humble beginnings through to establishing core areas of work, values, networks and collaborations.

 

This is the first part of the story of the MN which was founded in 2012. The celebrations will continue into 2023 when we mark 5 years since the MN became a charity in 2018.
