The Mindful Universe with Mark Westmoquette

In The Mindful Universe, astronomer and meditation teacher Dr. Mark Westmoquette invites us to explore the cosmos not just through data and theory, but through a direct, mindful experience. Drawing on his background in astrophysics and Zen practice, he reveals how the vastness of space can become a gateway to presence, curiosity and awe. In this talk, Mark will share stories and insights from the book, weaving together astronomy, philosophy and contemplative practice to show how science and mindfulness together can deepen our sense of belonging in the universe.
