In our increasingly connected 24/7 world, full of Tweets and status updates, friends and followers, are we using social media to really connect with others? With iPhones, Blackberrys and iPads becoming ubiquitous, do we ever disconnect from the matrix and be in the present moment? Can we be both mindful and connected, reaping the benefits of social media without the burnout?

Join Sinead Mac Manus from 8fold (www.eightfold.org) and a panel of invited speakers for an interactive discussion over tea during Social Media Week at The Hub Islington.
