Julia Wahl PhD

Warsaw, Poland

I’m a mindfulness and compassion trainer, psychology lecturer at the Social Sciences and Humanities (SWPS) University in Warsaw and Poznań, and the director of the Polish Mindfulness School. My teaching and research work is in the application of contemplative approaches (i.e. mindfulness, compassion) to address contemporary issues of collective narcissism, ecopsychology, systemic thinking, therapeutic interventions, and wider education contexts.

I’m bringing ‘second wave’ approaches like Social Mindfulness and MBOE to Poland because we need to apply a more critically informed approach to contemplative practice if we wish to have a more meaningful impact in contemporary society and social change.
