Under the patronage of the University of Turin, InTo Brain Association, AIM
(Associazione Italiana per la Mindfulness) and CMC (Consciousness
Mindfulness Compassion International Association) are glad to announce TiM
2018 – Trends in Mindfulness 2018, to be held in Turin, Italy, from Friday
9th to Sunday 11th November 2018.


​Trends in Mindfulness 2018: “From modeling consciousness to
rethinking dissociative and psychotic mental states”

Over the last few years, a great deal of attention has been paid to
Mindfulness (Insight) Meditation and, consequently, Mindfulness-Based
Interventions have become a hot, and often misunderstood, trending topic
for psychology, psychiatry, neuroscience and philosophy. The aim of this
conference will be to be provide an interactive arena, selecting and
focusing on emerging topics, new directions, unattended or critical issues
in the clinical applications and theoretical and scientific research on
Mindfulness. The leading concept of TiM is to identify two main topics and
to invite researchers on mindfulness meditation who share the rare
characteristic of a renowned and authoritative expertise in their own
scientific discipline and, at the same time, who have developed a long-term
familiarity with meditation, as well as with the contemplative traditions.
This combination and integration of scientific and contemplative knowledge
is the conceptual foundation of TiM 2018.

Our main topics and our keynote speakers will be:

*Friday November 9th, @Aula Magna della Cavallerizza Reale, via Verdi 9,
Turin *

*“Science from a first-person perspective. Third-person scientific models
of consciousness, mind and meditation developed with the contribution of a
first-person advanced meditation perspective”*

– Prof. *Henk Barendregt*, Radboud University (NL) – Mathematical Logician
& Vipassana meditation teacher

– Dr. *Peter Malinowski*, John Moores University, Liverpool (UK) –
Cognitive Neuroscientist & meditation teacher in the Karma Kagyu lineage of
Tibetan Buddhism

– Prof. *Thomas Metzinger*, Johannes Gutemberg Universitat, Mainz (DE),
Philosopher of Mind & long-term meditator
*Saturday November 10th, @Aula Magna della Cavallerizza Reale, via Verdi 9,
Turin *


*“Mindfulness and trauma in dissociative and psychotic mental
states. Mindfulness-based interventions for early and severe trauma in
children and adolescents”*

– Prof. *Thorsten Barnhofer*, Exeter University (UK) – Psychologist,
psychoterapist, Yoga teacher and Mindfulness-based interventions teacher
(MBCT and MBSR)

– Dr. *Tanya Lecchi*, Northampton University and Anna Freud Center, UCL,
London (UK) – Psychologist, psychoterapist and Mindfulness-based
interventions teacher (MBCT and MBSR)

*Final panel sharing and inquiring: “Mindfulness and consciousness:
rethinking psychiatric mental states”*

At the end of the second day, all keynote speakers will join a panel
discussion that will combine and further explore the two main topics and
their mutual connections. The aim of this panel will be to inquiry and
critically rethink psychopathological mental states from the perspectives
offered by scientific models of mind that are oriented by contemplative
knowledge and insights.
