The MUN's "Laboratorio de pausa" is a research space that invites us to develop, through experience, physical and mental skills linked to the contemplative life.
Looking and listening are the basis of our openness to the world, of socialization. This is why the MUN is dedicating these days to the important theme of attention.
As part of a "Laboratorio de pausa", these three days will focus on attention. Through workshops, seminars and meetings, the objective of the activities will be to deepen and rehearse practices to preserve and develop this capacity, which allows us to "want what we want" and which is particularly threatened today by forces that strive to take it over.
Full capacity except for the evening activities on May 24 and 25 at 5:00 p.m.
