What About Monday Morning? Awareness, Wisdom and Compassion in the Workplace

What About Monday Morning? Awareness, Wisdom and Compassion in the Workplace

9 – 11 September, 2011
Teacher: Tim Malnick

What if the very work we do, whatever it is, could become a path to greater awareness, deeper wisdom and wider benefit to the world?

In a time of global challenges, economic uncertainties and social change many of us are asking deep questions about the work we do and the way we do it. For many of us the workplace is and challenging part of our lives and can be an unfulfilling place that creates, stress, anxiety and tension. But should it be?

Far from needing to run away to a monastery or a cave, some spiritual traditions emphasise the value and potential of turning fully towards the chaos, challenge and emotionality of our work as a basis for self discovery and for benefitting others and the world at large. This weekend course offers you the opportunity to explore this possibility by using tried and tested tools and approaches from both ancient and modern traditions in a safe, stimulating and supportive environment.

This course will give you:
•    Frameworks, practices and advice for approaching all areas of your work with greater courage, skill and open heartedness.
•    Introduction to and guidance on simple awareness and meditation techniques that can be incorporated into the most demanding of daily schedules.
•    Time and space to reflect with others on the questions that you have about your work and the discoveries you are making in a safe, supportive environment.
•    An overview of key Buddhist teachings on work as spiritual practice and why practicing in the chaos of everyday life can be more powerful than any retreat!
•    But what about Monday morning? – practical support and tools to take back to the office (or wherever) after the programme
