Results and Impact 5 people including mindfulness practitioners, patients and self help group facilitators attended "Mind Your Language" which described my research spotting markers of mindfulness and inflexibility in everyday language, and its implications for moderation of online forums. The audience were very engaged and able to contribute to a good discussion of the approaches and issues related to the research, providing useful feedback that will inform our work going forward. 12 people had registered but it was a day of heavy flooding locally meaning travel was severely restricted.
