For the third year in a row, Brahm Centre Singapore is the proud host and organiser of Asia’s largest mindfulness conference, the Singapore Mindfulness Conference. In light of Covid-19, we’re having the conference online this year! We kicked off this exciting annual event with a pre-conference on 2 August 2020, with over 1,200 people joining us ‘live’ from the comfort and safety of their own homes for an exclusive Q&A with our panel of doctors and medical experts after the webinars.
Remember to ‘like’ and subscribe to this channel where we will be posting the full webinars! 😎
