Mindful Meals is a dinner event where participants are invited to engage in meaningful conversations about being mindful rather than reactive while navigating personal or communal challenges. The focus of these gatherings is not on the specific conditions that give rise to problems, nor on finding solutions for these problems, but on identifying and developing healthy mental responses.
