I think mindfulness and nature are one. I always experience more peace, joy, and awareness when I am outside.

Your suggestion of accepting nature as being perfectly imperfect to our view of humans is one that resonated with me – thank you for your insights and encouragement for engagement. A very thought provoking session.

Thank you so much for this Interview. Mark´s words come exactly at the right moment. To remember us that we are interconnected sounds like music to my ears in times of social distancing. I am very grateful I could hear you today!

Mark Coleman was remarkable in reminding us that we are truly interconnected and interdependent beings in this world. Beautiful thought and practice specially for someone who is feeling lonely and alone with the social distancing now. Thank You!!

  It’s no longer called “social distancing” but “physical distancing” which makes more sense!
  Best wishes,

Everything you spoke of resonated and the environment is in such danger and disrepair. Your meditation brought me to tears and help eliminate some of the toxins. We are all connected by an invisible thread the web of life that oscillates with each of our interconnected breaths that you alluded to.
I thank you for opening my heart more to the universe and the powers greater than ourselves.
Peace with Gratitude

Thank you Mark. Really enjoyed hearing about engaged Buddhism at least in an ecological if not social and political context. As a general comment I found this element missing in the few presentations I listened to.
Only critique Mark is that you bring in CBT elements into mindfulness which I find don’t sit well together. Challenging thoughts e.g. is it true? is not being present and nonjudgmentally observing what happens to the thought. One can easily get caught up in unhelpful mental debates that get one nowhere. As far as therapeutic styles go I find ACT to be closer aligned with mindfulness than CBT.

Very nice and remembering we are nature…

  This is coming at a great time – when our time outside is more limited and precious.
  
  Much appreciated.
