The Buddhism & Science Symposium is a series of public forums initiated by the Buddhist community in Singapore. The symposiums explore the relationship between Buddhism, Science and contemporary society.
Feeling the need to re-focus your mind and re-energise yourself?
Join us at this Symposium where great minds in science and spirituality share their insights on the impact of mindfulness on our health and emotional well-being.
Two NUS psychiatrists will share the importance of nurturing the developing adolescence mind, and research findings on a mindfulness intervention programme to prevent depression and dementia in the elderly in Singapore.
Learn how mindfulness practice is being used in psychotherapy and in cultivating mental resilience from a Buddhist monk and an eminent meditation teacher.
Sign up today and be inspired to find inner peace through the practice of mindfulness in your daily life!
