    Responding to the Pandemic From the Heart with Cynda Rushton and Bryan Doerries

    What can an ancient Greek play show modern audiences about the circumstances nurses have found themselves in over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic? That's a question Theater of War Productions and Dr. Cynda Rushton, professor of nursing and bioethics at Johns Hopkins University, hope will be answered when The Nurse Antigone premieres to audiences around the world. A project by and for nurses, The Nurse Antigone presents dramatic readings of Sophocles' Antigone on Zoom—featuring Taylor Schilling, Margaret Atwood, a chorus of nurses, and you. Mindful's managing editor Stephanie Domet connected with the organizers, and we're pleased to bring you that conversation. Stay curious, stay inspired.

    The Power of a Pause

    Here at Mindful we talk a lot about the wisdom of self-compassion and the importance of encountering our experience just as it is. And so, we've realized we need to take some of our own medicine. We need to rest for a moment. We're going to model self-care, we're going to model self-compassion, and we're going to put this podcast on pause for now.  We'll be back before long with another episode of Real Mindful.

    Lean In to Love with Frank Ostaseski and Barry Boyce (Part 1)

    Frank Ostaseski is a well-known and much-loved teacher of meditation, mindfulness, and compassionate service. In the past two years, he's suffered five strokes that affected his brain's capacity and as many aspects of daily life became more difficult, Frank found strength and refuge in love, compassion, and curiosity. He also found his practice still very much alive through the whole experience—and his ability to communicate the nuance of what we discover when we welcome everything remains intact. In this remarkable conversation between old friends, Frank shares some of what he learned and leaned on with our founding editor Barry Boyce. We'll bring you this conversation in two parts over the next two episodes of Real Mindful.

    How Stories Shape Us with Barry Boyce

    This week, Mindful managing editor Stephanie Domet is joined by founding editor Barry Boyce for a personal conversation about stories and storytelling—a topic that has always been a pillar in both of their careers. In fact, in every issue of Mindful magazine, Barry writes the back-page column "Point of View," and in the December issue he writes about stories and storytelling. In this conversation, Barry expands on that article to explore the role stories play, the way they sometimes expire, and what's at stake when we don't look past our stories to tune in with what's actually happening in our firsthand experience.
