On February 21, 2025, MIT’s Global Humanities initiative (GHI) hosts its inaugural GHI Forum Series from the Cognition, Learning & Human Flourishing pillar.
The speakers Jonas Mago (McGill University), Justus Wachs (McGill University) introducs the Cognition, Learning, and Human Flourishing pillar and the Living in Complexity project, inviting participants to explore how contemplative practices foster resilience, cognitive flexibility, and meaning-making in an uncertain world.
Throughout the event, participants will engage in meditation, somatic movement, and reflective writing—experiences that illuminated how contemplative practices can foster resilience, cognitive flexibility, and meaningful engagement in uncertain times. Attendees will also explore the interconnections between their own work and the forum’s themes, sparking inspiring discussions that united the mind, heart, spirit, and body.
