(REGISTRATION CLOSED)

Menla Center – Phoenicia, New York

Cultivating Leadership Presence through Mindfulness© is a 4 day residential retreat that invites organizational leaders to explore mindfulness meditation training in the context of leadership excellence. The retreat invites leaders to ‘train the mind’ just as an athlete leverages specialized training to ‘train the body’. In a small group setting, leaders are guided through a series of systematic mindful leadership practices, leadership excellence reflections, and everyday applications (e.g mindful meetings, skillful decision-making, leading by inspiration). As we explore mindful leadership, we learn to cultivate our ability to focus, see past our own filters, be more innovative and embody compassion. After the retreat, participants are supported in the integration of their training, and the development of a meditation practice, through several weeks of post-retreat e-mails from the Institute and the Institute’s Mindfulness Meditations for Leaders (c) CD. This retreat has been taught to leaders from around the world since 2006

Fee: $2,495

Includes single room, tuition, breakfast, lunch and dinner with the group. Each participant will also receive a free CD “Mindfulness Meditations for Leaders” by Janice Marturano.

Additionally there will be several weeks of ongoing virtual support from the instructors after the retreat
