Forget the myth of perfect stillness; mindfulness affects how we relate to our daily experience. Instead of staying caught up in distraction and reactivity that fuels escalating stress, we intentionally cultivate a way to navigate life with greater ease and care, especially during unsettling times. Mindfulness isn’t about emptying your mind. Mindfulness is a realistic and practical way to help us stay in touch with our wisdom, compassion, and best intentions.

2025 Stanford Contemplation by Design Summit Keynote Speaker - "Ancient Wisdom for Modern Families: Flourishing in the Midst of it All"
2025-10-20 15:00 - 16:15 (America/New_York) | Online
In the midst of the intense challenges of modern life, how can we raise happy, resilient and kind children? What practical and affordable methods work best in our technology-driven world?
After centuries, the profound wisdom and compassion embedded in ancient contemplative practices remain on point and available to anyone living with or working with children. Instead of reinforcing habits like reactivity and negativity, we can proactively build traits that put children on a common-sense and an evidence-based path to greater happiness and wellbeing. This mindfulness-based approach seamlessly integrates into and supports all the rest of evidence-based pediatric care and education. Join Dr. Bertin as we delve into the science of flourishing, drawing on the rich heritage of ancient wisdom to create a nurturing environment for modern families and classrooms.

2025 Stanford Contemplation by Design Summit Keynote Speaker: iPause Guided Practice #6 Kindness and Compassion Practice
2025-10-20 19:30 - 20:30 (America/New_York) | Online
Everyone, even those we disagree with most, is driven by a basic desire to be happy, healthy and at ease. When we lose touch with that understanding about ourselves, forgetting to practice self-compassion, it undermines our intentions to stay strong, and changes how we treat other people. When we forget that reality about the experience of other people we encounter, it undermines how we interact with our friends, family and community. Lovingkindness practice is a reality-based, heartful path to uncovering our inherent ability to recognize the common wishes we all have to be free of suffering– a fact that holds true for everyone, everywhere.
This guided practice is one session in the two-part series taught by Mark Bertin during the Contemplation by Design Summit. You are welocme to attend one or both sessions. The other session is a lecture titled Ancient Wisdom for Modern Families: Flourishing in the Midst of it All also on October 20th 2025.

Emotional dysregulation is a common, core symptom of ADHD that is often overlooked. Even when other treatments are effective, they don’t always address this key aspect of ADHD. Emotional reactivity can be highly disruptive for individuals and families, undermining their well-being, resilience, and social relationships, and making the implementation of other interventions for ADHD more challenging. Conversely, mindfulness, stress and anxiety management, and emotional regulation in general. What is the connection between ADHD and emotion – and what strategies work best to support adults and children in managing their emotions? How does mindfulness influence the emotional impact of ADHD – and can anyone with ADHD practice mindfulness? This presentation will introduce an integrated approach to emotional reactivity and ADHD, utilizing mindfulness both independently
