Event description

As a hub of both entrepreneurial excellence and spiritual innovation, Boulder is uniquely positioned to explore the meaning of mindfulness in modern times. But mindfulness has become such a buzz word it can seem kind of…annoying. We’ll look at the history and solid science behind the hype, and discuss what it really means for those in a start-up environment.
