10984: Mindfulness Practices for Systems Change: Varied Perspectives (CANCELLED)

This symposium offers an opportunity to explore how broadly and inclusively conceived awareness practices can facilitate sustainable improvements by changing mindsets, narratives, and institutions to catalyze systemic change at the intersection of individual awakening, societal inclusion, and planetary well-being. Through diverse perspectives from scholars and practitioners deeply engaged in mindfulness, systems change, and inclusion, we aim to inspire participants to rethink entrenched paradigms, embrace new societal narratives, and co-create pathways for flourishing. By engaging in meaningful dialogue grounded in multidisciplinary research and practice, this session will empower attendees to confront today’s pressing global challenges with a sense of interconnectedness and purpose. Together, we will challenge prevailing norms, foster inclusion, and imagine a world where stewardship, equity, and sustainability become guiding principles for action. With MSR's focus on higher consciousness as a theme, this symposium exemplifies its potential to inspire collective transformation.
