Weekend of December 10-12, 2010

Bringing Mindfulness Practices to Business

While the journey toward our awakening may begin as an intimate one, along the way many of us begin to question how best to integrate into our professional lives the wisdom and practices that give rise to our transformation. A strong desire then emerges to extend our focus from the individual to the collective, especially when we serve as leaders.

Join others in business who are interested in awakening the mind, opening the heart, and bringing more creativity, humanity, skill, and effectiveness into their professional lives. Drawing on current research in psychology, medicine, cognitive neuroscience, leadership, organizational development, and complex adaptive systems, we will investigate the effects of mindfulness practices including meditation on enhancing our ability to problem solve, build consensus, change behavior, and redefine value in a business context. Further, we will explore the mechanisms of action through which mindfulness practices have transformative effects on individuals and organizations. Through a topical study of perception, inquiry, dialogue, culture, trust, decision making, intuition, power, and ethics, we will understand how mindfulness practices unlock the greatest latent asset of any business–strong relationships. Through didactic presentation, experiential exercises, meditation practices, and small group activities, we will explore ways of applying mindfulness personally and professionally to cultivate greater happiness, health, freedom, and abundance for self and community.
