For three days in May, Vancouver played host to Heart-Mind 2013, a one-of-a-kind conference that explored how we can help children thrive.
The theme of this year's conference was mindfulness and its role in helping children thrive physically, socially and emotionally.
Keynote speakers included Goldie Hawn, Paul Tough, Shawn Achor, Adele Diamond, Linda Lantieri, Rob Roeser, Kimberly Schonert-Reichl, Clifford Saron and Roy Henry Vickers.
"As the conference went on, I became very emotional," says Vickers. "I think the memory for me, will be Goldie Hawn walking out onto the stage – with no notes, never going anywhere near the podium – and just emoting. That will stay with me."
The Dalai Lama Center will be sharing moments like these throughout the coming weeks. Stay tuned for complete video recordings of some of Heart-Mind 2013's inspiring talks and exclusive interviews with the speakers. |
