How can we make mindfulness for accessible to a sceptical audience?
One of Mindfulnets founding goals was to make mindfulness more accessible to people who may have little or no experience of it. Research demonstrates that may people employed in professional roles lose interest if they cannot find the information they need on the web within three mouse clicks. Mindfulnet would like to hear what approaches are proving successful, so that it can share best practice.
If you have any suggestions or case stuudies please contact juliet@mindfulnet.org
