Mindfulness and the Addiction Economy with Dave Smith

Thursday, March 27 6:30-8 PM

Mindfulness is everywhere, everyone seems to know what it means and maybe that’s the problem. While mindfulness maintains deep roots in the Buddhist tradition, like many things it has been watered down by the mainstream and is close to ruin. While our devices have become weapons of mass distraction, the attention economy is over, we lost, welcome to the addiction economy. Everyone is addicted, we all know it, but few will admit it, yet we all seem to accept it. Turning inward and taking an honest look at our pain and dissatisfaction and coming to terms with what fuels are addiction is our only hope. This is accomplished through the development of mindfulness. Therefore, mindfulness is the means, not the end.

During the evening session, Dave will offer perspectives on how to use our mindfulness as skillfully as we can! All Welcome!
