Are you feeling overwhelmed by postgraduate studies? Do you have difficulty resting the mind when you want to? Mindfulness may help! Mindfulness is a scientifically-proven set of skills for de-stressing and improving one's mind and wellbeing. The Finding Peace in a Frantic World and mindfulness courses of the MBCT curricula, currently offered to students at top universities and international parliamentarians, have been found in research to be effective.

We cordially invite research postgraduate students in Hong Kong and Macau to participate in this free 8-week online Finding Peace in a Frantic World course. As participants, you will learn mindfulness skills to improve wellbeing, as well as contribute to research on mindfulness.
