Silence as a Resource for Meaning and Mindfulness in Organizations: Practices for Mind and Body [32]
Friday, Aug 5 2016 8:00AM - 9:30AM Anaheim Convention Center, 212A
With Kathryn Goldman Schuyler, Mark Kriger, and Susan Skjei
Sponsored by MSR, ODC, PTC
In what ways is silence helpful in creating deeper meaning and mindfulness at work -- and in ordinary life? What is the effect on awareness of the nearly constant engagement with electronic media (mobile phones, PCs, tablets, television and media players) and of having music or speech entering the mind directly from speakers in one's ears? We are all so full of thoughts and words; where do we find silence here, in a busy professional conference? How might silence enrich our communications here?
The workshop will draw on in-the-moment awareness practices to shift the state of awareness and energy of attendees. On this experiential foundation, we will dialog about the personal, theoretical, and practice implications, in accordance with the needs and interests of those attending. Each of the three conveners have had awareness practices for decades. We look forward to participating with you in both silence and reflections!
