Our Mindful Nature {Formerly The Mindful Minute}

Fully Present with Diana Winston

Jan 20, 2023

Friends, today I get to share a conversation with one of my personal favorite meditation teachers, Diana Winston! Diana is the Director of Mindfulness Education at UCLA, the author of several incredible books about meditation and a former Buddhist nun.


Together, we talk about the second edition release of her book, Fully Present, as well as my personal favorite book, The Little Book of Being.


Diana shares some insights on how the field of mindfulness meditation has evolved over the last ten years. In this episode, we talk about 


  • The ethics missing from most meditation teachings
  • The science of kindness {hint: meditators are kinder than non-meditators!}
  • How the practice is evolving from me-centric to community-centric 
  • Mindful parenting
  • Natural awareness and the pleasure to glimpse practices


Grab a cup of tea, pop-in your headphones and join Diana and me for this conversation and a short guided practice from Diana at the end.
