Well-being at Work

Dear friends on the Path,

On the 3rd Tuesday of the month we have online sharings on different aspects of mindfulness and the dharma in the context of work and business.

The topic this time around is wellbeing.

Well-being and suffering are interconnected. The more suffering grows, the less well-being manifests. The more well-being grows, the less suffering there is. In the workplace, we often focus on deadlines and rush to achieve goals. 

However, our well-being is often not included among these goals. We have difficulty finding moments to pause and rest. Often, we fail to take care of either our own well-being or that of our workgroup. The well-being of workers is the well-being of the workgroup, and ultimately, the well-being of the organization.

Do I take care of my well-being at work? And that of my colleagues?

How could I improve well-being in my work environment?

What is the relationship between my well-being, that of my colleagues, my organization's well-being, and that of the environment?

In this 75-minute session, we will meditate together, hear a short impulse talk, allow for self-reflection and exchange in break-out groups.

ABOUT THE FORMAT

Online impulses from the Network for Mindful Business are a 75-minute format to meditate together, share shortly on the topic, allow for self-reflection and exchange in break-out groups. They generally take place from 17:15 - 18:30 CET (Central European Time a.k.a. Paris, Berlin, Rome), which makes for a nice close to the workday in Europe, a morning practice in the Americas and an evening close in Asia.

They grew out of local in-person events focused around various topics or koans and coalesced into an online format in 2020 as we moved toward more international activities.

The impulses are hosted alternatively by different core members of the Network for Mindful Business.
