A fabulous day of M3CS PhD presentations - Lars Sandved-Smith on pure awareness, @shawnprest.bsky.social on defabrication in meditation, @bethfisher.bsky.social Fisher on optimism and gratitude. All done brilliantly with active inference and FEP modelling.

As the year winds down, we took a moment to pause, reflect, & enjoy some creative mindfulness. 🎨🖌️ With a day of painting & delicious food, we created a way to be present, connect, & contemplate together.
We’re looking forward to what 2025 will bring!
