Meditation Australia and Australian Catholic University invite you to:

2018 Australian Meditation Conference on the theme: Meditation and Society
Location: Australian Catholic University - 115 Victoria Parade, Fitzroy (Cnr Brunswick St)
Date and Time: Friday 20 July 2018 | 11am to 9pm,
Saturday 21 July 2018 | 8am to 6pm, and
Sunday 22 July 2018 | 8am to 5pm

About the Conference: The primary aim of the 2018 Australian Meditation Conference is to provide a platform for a collaborative dialogue involving a wide range of speakers, representing a rich diversity of philosophies and applications of meditation, mindfulness, contemplation and reflection.

Delivered across the weekend the main conference program will feature keynote addresses and panel discussions. These dialogues will be supplemented by a variety of practical workshops, the delivery of academic papers, a quiet room for contemplation, an exhibition marketplace, live music and a ‘netwalking’ session though the local gardens.

Satellite events on Friday 20 July include an Education Forum, Masterclasses for practitioners and professionals, an early evening dinner in the exhibition area, a free public meditation gathering and an evening presentation by psychologist and New York Times best-selling author Dr Rick Hanson.

Meditation and Society: The overarching theme of this innovative conference program is Meditation and Society. Beyond the view of meditation as a personal practice, our speakers and delegates will share their understanding of how the myriad forms of meditation contribute at a societal level, enhancing collective wellbeing and creating cultural change.

About Meditation Australia: The Meditation Association of Australia (MA) is the national peak body representing meditation teachers in Australia. We set peer-reviewed standards for meditation teachers, maintain a register of suitably qualified meditation teachers and promote continuing professional development and ethical conduct.

MA also supports members of the public who practise or want to learn meditation and assists organisations wanting to incorporate meditation into their organisational culture.

Formed in 2008, MA is a nationally registered not-for-profit association. Managed by an elected voluntary Board of meditation teachers from diverse backgrounds, MA promotes meditation as an integral part of life.

This conference marks our 10th anniversary and gives us the opportunity to celebrate the remarkable growth in the awareness of the benefits of meditation over the past decade
