#Meditation is recommended for #MentalHealth regularly; we see the benefits, but seldom spoken about are potential adverse effects or how to help them. Thank you @piercesalguero and @nyuniversity for this talk bringing light to this complicated topic.

@DrNicGraham @kingstrs Amazing!! Congrat @DrNicGraham

[Jack Blonde @jackwasblonde]

@DrIraHelderman @BuddhismViews It certainly is! I am currently writing a dissertation on adverse effects related to decontextualised contemporary spiritual practises, with a specific focus on kundalini crises.

@BuddhismViews @uoedivinity @StudiesBuddhist Where will this be taking place Paul?

Great to see this collab with @4per1000! Funded by the @EU_Commission's EU Soil Strategy, they too have some great resources on their website with regards to soil degradation. Especially cool is this 4-page comic https://t.co/lpA4JnOfEp Will be tuning in! @cpsavesoil #SaveSoil

[Conscious Planet #SaveSoil @cpsavesoil]

Scientists engage in a discussion with @SadhguruJV about the '@4Per1000' initiative, which was introduced by the French government in 2015 to improve soil health, and in turn, prevent #climatechange and food shortages.

.@piercesalguero couldn’t find a text for his students that provided an objective introduction to #Buddhism without being overly scholastic. In the end, he decided to write that book himself. We caught up with him to chat about BUDDHISH. https://t.co/U1thEniKcx

@RebeccaSurgey @BDAdyslexia @MattHancock Agreed. Kids don’t just need access to assessments/screening, the schools need proper funding to bring in specialists to work with kids beyond the assessments.

[Erik Solheim @ErikSolheim]

The Save Soil campaign has been off to a great start. Caribbean heads of state endorsed the need to change our agriculture and understand that soil is a living thing.

Please follow the campaign at @SadhguruJV and give all support.

[UN Land and Drought @UNCCD]

Global commitments to restore degraded land have reached 1 billion hectares by 2030. Now it's time to turn them into actions!

Brief interesting thread and discussion from @HarryFarls outlining the historical links between religion and the current crisis..

[Harry Farley @HarryFarley_]

There is a fascinating religious aspect to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. 👇👇

1/ When Putin justified the upcoming invasion earlier this week, he said Ukraine was an “inalienable part of [Russia’s] history, culture and SPIRITUAL space.”

[Paul Fuller @BuddhismViews]

Events for RME/RMPS teachers in Scotland (and beyond). Can I particularly highlight the Storytelling CPD event on 21st May and the Buddhism Discovery Day on 16th June. Any questions, then do email me.

Inspired by @MouLumeL's RS & Climate Crisis class at @EdinburghUni, I've decided to get involved with a sustainability initiative outside of my studies 👇 For students interested in soil degradation, @cpsavesoil are running webinars on the issue: https://t.co/wsLZb2Shyh #SaveSoil
