Rigorous and scholarly, while also anchored in developing a personal practice, Meditation & Management is an intense introduction to meditation for MBA students and others training for leadership in market-based companies or non-profits organizations.
Our six-week course Leading from the Center, brings the benefits of meditation to your workplace: reduced stress, increased self-awareness, more productive focus, greater mental resilience, and responsive leadership.
There’s no substitute for short periods of intensive focus on contemplative practice, under expert guidance and in a supportive, appropriate environment. We list upcoming retreats and centers we know and trust, both in our tradition and in others.
The Meditatio Foundation teaches meditation, both for personal well-being and — thanks to meditation’s positive impact on relationships— for advancing the common good in organizations and society at large. Meditation is a practice found in all historic traditions around the world and whose advantages are now increasingly documented by scientific studies.
Leaders who meditate focus more effectively on key tasks, integrate their personal values with the organization’s mission, and avoid distractions.
Business is stressful. But meditators learn to deal with it systematically, mitigating it’s toxic effects in a healthy, simple and inexpensive way.
When your whole team meditates, they respond appropriately rather than react thoughtlessly to each other — and to other key stakeholders.
