The UpLift Buffalo Mindfulness Festival will feature mindfulness guides and experts from across the region. The event will offer awareness-based practices on the main Serenity Stage, mindfulness experts in the Learning Center, a Kid’s Corner, interactive labyrinth, and more than 40 local vendors and food trucks.

On the Serenity Stage local area guides will give presentations to help expand and reinforce personal mindfulness practices.  A special presentation includes dance troupes to exemplify how mindfulness can be practiced through movement.  Each dance presentation expands on the work of each “practice” the guided expert showcased.

The Learning Center has on going presentations on subjects covering how mindfulness is used in education, the workplace and health centers.  Beginners will also learn tools and insights on the topic of mindfulness in general.

The Kids corner features activities for young adults, teens and young children.  Activities are varied and run throughout the festival.

People are also encouraged to learn how to walk a labyrinth with expert guides.

Of course, the festival has food trucks, local vendors, booksellers and more that all relate to the topic of mindfulness.
