ICM 2018 Amsterdam

18/07/2018

Dear all,

After a few days of rest, we are looking back with a lot of appreciation and gratitude on a very successful conference.

We were impressed with the number and diversity of attendees, over 600 and from 50 different countries. And with the quality of all your contributions: from posters, to workshops, symposia and keynotes.

We have really enjoyed sharing these days of science, reflection and practice with you. We hope they have inspired you and given you energy, ideas and support to continue our work of bringing mindfulness to the world, wherever we live.

May the good that has been done bring you all great peace and joy.

Anne, Susan, Marloes, Ramona

Are you ready to Sail away with us to Forteiland Pampus?

Do not forget to sign up for the International Conference on Mindfulness 2018 from 11-13 July 2018 in Amsterdam and join us at the ICM conference party Thursday 12 July 2018 at Pampus Island.

Just 30 minutes sailing from Amsterdam we will arrive at Pampus Island, a national monument that is on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
It is a unique location where we can escape the busy and buzzing city centre for a relaxed evening with music and a vegetarian barbecue.
We are also honoured to have a performance by Ruby Wax as our special guest!

The evening will of course be accompanied by music by a DJ so that we can hopefully dance the night away underneath the stars, or find a peaceful spot to talk with friends and colleagues.
