Dr Masoumeh Rahmani (Principal Investigator), Dr Miguel Farias and I won an Understanding Unbelief grant in 2017 to investigate the relationship between unbelief (secular worldviews) and Mindfulness Meditation.
Mindfulness Meditation inhabits a niche in the life of many religious “nones” who desire fulfilment through self-transformation, yet wish to keep religious traditions at arm’s-length.
Our project proposes a cross-cultural investigation in the nature of unbelief among practitioners of MM in the UK and the USA.
