Join us for a special pre-meditation event with Professor Ashwani Vasishth. There are two key elements that undergird Sustainability, in actual practice.  One of these is the attribute of empathy–which is critical because it is a prerequisite for the essential trait of being able to switch perspectives across stakeholder positions and world views.  The other, which is the focus of this discussion, is best depicted by the Sanskrit meme of dhyaan which loosely translates as the ability to pay diligent attention–connoting mindfulness practice. In this context, we will briefly discuss Mindfulness as an essential precursor to Sustainability Practice, exploring one of the imperatives that underwrite my own thoughts on the matter.
