Mindfulness is a state of being, an approach to life (and to our work, regardless of its genre) that calls for presence and awareness, care and purpose. Living mindfully, designing mindfully, coding mindfully can be extremely rewarding, for us and for the beneficiaries of our work.

Mindfulness is defined as the basic human ability to be fully present (aware of where we are and what we’re doing) and not overly reactive (or overwhelmed) by what’s going on around us.

Mindfulness practice refers to the cultivation of this basic human ability through various methods which may include, but are not limited to, colouring, movement, meditation, breathing, etc.

In the workshop, Raffaella Isidori will illustrate the principles and the applications of Mindfulness and Mindfulness Practice and share her experience and examples of practice.

There will be two workshops on Mindfulness during the WordCamp: one on the Saturday and the other on the Sunday.
