Compassionate Wellbeing's first conference explored the relationship between spirituality and wellbeing took place at the Enterprise Centre in Derby on the 14-15 November 2015. Featuring a fresh range of contemporary academic research alongside personal and practitioner accounts, this conference sought to illuminate how spiritual experience and practise can facilitate healing and enhance wellbeing. Panels featured looked at mindfulness, meditation and compassion practise; extraordinary experiences; life difficulties and spiritual experience; religious experience and ritual; and spiritual life journeys and transformative experience. A range of spiritual and academic positions were discussed with a view to an interdisciplinary and interfaith dialogue.
