Mindfulness and Buddhist Action Month

I am trying to find out more about Buddhist Action Month and to work out how it can fit with the day on Management Theory at Work in Radio. Previously Anna Marie Waite was a guest on the Wild show when she spoke about mindfulness and work in radio and writing songs. At the second original conference in Lancaster Dr Bronwen Rees spoke of "alchemy" and there was time for a short meditation. Not sure how this would work at a music event withe several people dropping in and out.

But I have come across a website for Buddhist Action Month so this may fit in ok at least to start a discussion. There are too main themes, the difficulties around social media and the action that could be taken to explore "our society’s need for a positive collective narrative for the future". One tension is that there is a tag for Twitter - #BuddhistActionMonth - a Facebook page and several YouTube clips so whatever the distractions of social media turn out to be there is much for discussion.
