INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS RETREAT // Be free where you are: Mind skills for uncertain times
This annual residential retreat brings together a diverse group of people interested in making our work lives, our business dealings and our larger economy more conscious and compassionate. This year we address uncertainty and we will explore a variety of powerful mind skills mined from Buddhist teachings and collected from experiences in the Network for Mindful Business.
Online-Impulses via Zoom
June 16, 2023 - 5.15 pm to 6.30pm (CET)
Online Impulse: Friends at Work
Who are our valued companions on the business path? How might we find common spirits in our workplace? If we envision a business sangha*, what might that look (and feel) like? What is the difference between a colleague, a friend and a spiritual friend?
We'd like to explore these themes together in a 75-minute online session.
