THC 37: Dr. Matt Mumber | Sustainable Wellness

Group Programs and the Power of Mindfulness

Group wellness programs create a "safe space" where individuals can witness their own transformation without the pressure of external "fixing." Dr. Mumber shares an anecdote about a high-stakes card game on an airplane to illustrate how deeply people can become engaged in the "game" of life while ignoring their survival. Mindfulness, as defined by John Kabat-Zinn, involves paying attention to the present moment "as though your life depended on it."
