MANAGEMENT, SPIRITUALITY AND RELIGION RETREAT after AOM – August 10-13, 2010
Dear Colleagues, and friends,
Our 8th MSR Retreat after the AOM meetings will take place Tuesday evening through Friday noon, August 10-13, 2010 at a pleasant center called the Hermitage, about twenty miles from downtown, on the island of Montreal --a beautiful spot with large grounds situated on a lake.
In 2002 at our business meeting in Denver there was a strong consensus that our work in matters of Spirit requires deepening of the spiritual journey. Further, there was a common discernment that efforts in this sensitive area would be enhanced by a shared retreat where the deepening of spirit was called forth. We've had a Management and Spirituality Retreat after the AOM (Academy of Management) annual meeting each year since.
THIS year in 2010 we invite you and your friends, spouses, colleagues to join in for our 8th Retreat in Montreal (MSR membership not required).
Each Retreat has been different and ecumenical including spiritual practices from a variety of spiritual and psychological traditions and religions depending on the interests and practices of participants. We've offered a mixture of silence and discussion and addressed both issues of deep personal spiritual importance to participants and methods of teaching and studying management from an MSR (Management, Spirituality and Religion Group of AOM) perspective. Friendships have been newly formed (no marriages or partnerships yet as far as we know!), some old acquaintances deepened, and new teaching, research and personal practices introduced. It's been a time of deep relaxation and joy after the annual AOM meetings.
Because accommodations are limited to 20 , we are asking that you determine early if this spirit-filled, rest and practice opportunity is something you would like to share in. Full cost for 3 nights lodging, space for retreat activities and dining, 3 meals a day, will run approximately $190 US / person (exact amount may vary with currency rates). This is an official activity of MSR potentially eligible as a reimbursable expense from your institutions or, if not reimbursed, may be potentially deductible for those who itemize. We need reservations and deposits of $100 by March 30 in order to inform the retreat enter, Ermitage Sainte-Corix.
For more information and to reserve a space contact us at LeeRobbins@post.Harvard.edu or simply send the Registration Form following (see our friendly refund policy below should you need to cancel after registering) to the address listed. Because of the limited space, people will be registered for the Retreat on a "first come, first served" basis.
We hope you will carefully consider this opportunity to be with colleagues from the MSR interest group as well as other interested friends in a surrounding of natural beauty to share a spirit filled three days in support of our important work on behalf of management education.
Sincerely,
Lee Robbins, Retreat Coordinator, Member MSR Executive Committee, former MSR Chair;Dept. of Management, School of Business, Golden Gate University
