“Spirituality in the workplace is the key intervention needed to transform consciousness on the planet.”
The workplace has, for many, become a profane space led by a singular, bottom-line focus. We have a sense that discussions of faith are not welcome (at best) or illegal (at worst). And yet, inherent within the gathering of humans is the creative potential of the sacred.
This workshop examines the variety of ways that are emerging within the workplace to engage with the fullness of the spiritual lives of workers. The workshop invites all participants to implement a workplace intervention during this workshop timeframe. Those from non-traditional workplaces (self-employed, retired, family-based work, non-paid work, non-profits, small startups) are encouraged to join, as well.
This is not a typical workshop, which focuses on cognitive understanding of researched issues. This workshop touches on those, but focuses on the felt sense of the impact of workplaces that are devoid of Spirit. We locate a key issue in the colonization of the workplace, and help participants locate specific interventions to implement in real time within their workplace.
Who this workshop is for
An Interspiritual Counseling and Companioning Concentration - Open to the Public
This workshop is for anyone who works or serves those who work. We are asked to leave many things outside of the office doors. That means we consistently experience non-belonging. In addition, our workplaces become profane spaces, devoid of Spirit. This workshop helps to find ways to safely and ethically integrate spirituality.
What you’ll explore
The Relationship Between Colonization & Purpose at Work; Language & Legal Frameworks for a Changing Workplace; Energy at Work; Innovation as Spiritual Work; Relationships at Work; Change Management as Spiritual Work; Mindful and Authentic Leadership Models; Your Leadership as Spiritual Companionship; and Formal Spiritual Roles in Organizations
Significant small group work to discover common workplace challenges, ideate on spiritual interventions, and celebrate successes
Lots of eLearning, a full text on workplace spirituality research, and a lot of resource materials
What you’ll experience
Register for this four-part workshop series to learn workplace meditations and grief rituals to heal past relationships with work in order to make way for the new, and design and implement a workplace ritual that brings out your spirituality in your workplace (without proselytizing or violating the law).
Following this workshop, you’ll be prepared for further integration between yourself and the depth and potential of who you are in your workplace role.
