The sessions were hosted by Prakriti Poddar, Global Head Mental Health and Wellbeing, RoundGlass.Speaking about the event, Sunny (Gurpreet) Singh, Founder, RoundGlass, said, “Our intention behind organizing this event was to inspire people to meditate for their overall wellbeing as well as to educate them about the healing and transformative powers of meditation. Taking time out for meditation and mindfulness every day helps in reducing stress, achieving better work-life balance, and improving sleep. And we feel a deep sense of accomplishment after achieving such a significant level of knowledge sharing through this event.”
Bestselling author and creator of Functional Life Coaching, Mastin Kipp, discussed how understanding and accepting trauma can lead to a deeper meditative practice. Kipp talked about “making trauma your superpower” and how it can help people in “asking for help in beautiful ways.” Wellness experts and husband and wife Dr Amy and Dr Kwabena Blankson, shared the secrets to a happy relationship. Dr Amy, the CEO of the Digital Wellness Institute and bestselling author of The Future of Happiness, said that for a relationship to work partners need to “find a path to happiness together” instead of only focussing on how to be happy.
