SUMMARY:A Half-day Retreat @ HKU + Lung Fu Mountain: Demystifying Mindfulness from the perspectives of Psychology and Buddhism
DESCRIPTION:Activity Highlights Recap: The Present is a present for you\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				A Half-day Retreat @ HKU + Lung Fu Mountain: Demystifying Mindfulness from the perspectives of Psychology and Buddhism\n\nWe spend most of our time learning about the outside world and try to change small parts of it\, but most of us know very little about our own inner mindscape\, and even less about how to change it for the better.\n\nMindfulness is one of the most simple yet also profound ways of knowing while transforming our own consciousness into one with more clarity\, peace and happiness. It is a widespread practice across different religious traditions and nowadays being even widely applied in fields like psychology\, medicine and education.\nWe now invite you to explore these questions together with us by joining this half-day retreat @HKU + Lung Fu Shan:\n\n1. How can mindfulness connect us to a deeper understanding of self and meaning of life?\n2. What insights can we gain if we could learn from both religious and non-religious approaches of mindfulness?\n3. What will happen to our daily life and surrounding if we can practice mindfulness from the here and the now?\n\n  \nDate: Dec 17 (Friday) \, 2021【Rescheduled】\nTime: 13:30 pm-18:00 pm\nVenue: HKU campus + Lung Fu Mountain*\nFormat: Talks + experiential practices in mindful breathing\, sitting\, stretching and hiking\n\n(Limited quotas are available\, first come first serve) *Further details will be sent to you upon successful registration \n  \n			\n				Activity Highlights Recap: The Present is a present for you\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				About our guest facilitators\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Professor Shui-fong LAMB.A. (CUHK)\, PGDE (CUHK)\, M.Ed.
