How can we bring a more holistic perspective in our approach to work? How well do we nurture an integration of our emotional self and our working self?

This workshop will explore various approaches for learning how to be more emotionally attuned with ourselves and others in the workplace, to help promote empathic relationships and meaningful communication with each other. Strategies for cultivating a thoughtful and conscious presence will be explored through experiential exercises guided by mindfulness practices.

Participants will also learn skills for promoting deeper emotional self-awareness, which will lead to more balance in their work life and relationships. Discussion and experiential exercises will be informed by psychological insights gained from mindfulness meditation, interpersonal neurobiology, and affective neuroscience.
