About the keynote

Re-imagining Practices for Collective Resilience and Healing: Equitable Change and Embodied Mindfulness and the Inner Work of Social Transformation. 

In a time of reckoning with social change and transformation in all of our major systems and institutions, what is the role of socially-engaged mindfulness? How might embodied mindfulness assist in the work of remaking the system as a system that works for all? In this lively presentation, Professor Magee will invite reflection on racism in the healthcare sector, and call for a re-imagination of the field from an anti-racist and equity-committed perspective.
