An introductory session to Ondy Willson's work, including a reading from her book of the same title, a meditation, and time for questions. Ondy outlines the influences that have shaped her teaching: her study and practice of Buddhism, her own life experience, and the development of her Wellseeing consultancy, which has delivered mindfulness programmes to the public and private sectors for over twenty years. She takes us through the key concepts of a spiritual practice, and how these contribute to filling the empty spaces in contemporary life, giving it deeper meaning and purpose without necessarily following a religion.
