This webinar with Gelong Thubten – Buddhist monk and renowned thought leader and speaker – explains how non-religious mindful meditation can help you to create a resourceful mental state amid the rapidly changing environment that we all now live in. This practice has become widespread and well recognised as a way of positively managing your mental health. It has been proven to help reduce stress and improve focus, as well as improve your wellbeing, happiness and motivation.

Thubten will explain techniques and describe their application in the workplace, giving you practical tools which you can apply in your daily lives.

By the end of this session you will:

• understand how to create a resourceful mental state – whatever the exterior disturbance
• have the presence and calmness of mind to make sound, unhurried decisions
• be able to reduce stress and increase your ability to maintain a resilient and balanced outlook
• have a more positive mental attitude and greater energy and motivation.

Gelong Thubten is a Buddhist monk, meditation teacher and author from the UK.

He ordained as a monk 26 years ago at Samye Ling Tibetan Monastery in Scotland, and he has spent over six years in intensive meditation retreats, the longest of which was 4 years long.

Now regarded as one of the UK’s most influential meditation teachers, Thubten has pioneered the provision of mindfulness to businesses, hospitals, schools, universities, prisons and addiction counselling centers, over the past 20 years. He works with major global companies such as Google, Accenture and LinkedIn, and has lectured at Oxford University and for the United Nations.
