What to expect
Each workshop and program is informative, interactive and experiential.
Informative
Every session includes background information on the selected topic, presenting scientifique facts, research and concrete data on the functioning and impact of the topic (stress, concentration, communication) as well as the benefits of the tools to be explored.
Interactive
These sessions aren't a presentation. Participants are encouraged to share their previous experiences, discuss the presented tools and techniques and help each other with personal tips. The objective here is to create an open, safe space, where people can express themselves and share their objectives or difficulties, so as to tailor the workshop to the needs of the group, as well as opening space for bonding between team members over a common topic.
Experiential
Different tools and techniques will be presented and experienced throughout the workshop. As every person is unique with their own needs and desires, it's important that a range of exercices are explored, so that everybody can find something the works for them.
Each workshop is also supportive of people's self-practice, which is important for the learning and development of new skills. Participants will have take-away resources, to help incorporate the new information and tools into their daily life and the work environment, ensuring the best results.
Meditation Sessions
The goal of the meditation sessions is to make it as easy as possible for everyone to understand what meditation is and how it can help them live and work better.
Contrary to what many people might think, meditation is easy to learn and its benefits are felt immediately.
No previous experience or fancy gadgets are required to learn. Those who consider themselves to have the busiest minds and think it will be impossible to meditate can learn to have deeply satisfying meditative experiences in weekly sessions over a period of one month, and will benefit from it the most.
Meditation gives employees, as well as leaders, the opportunity to have a space to clear their minds.
Research has shown that meditation :
-
Reduces stress and negativity
-
Increases clarity, productivity and efficiency
-
Promotes teamwork
-
Increases employee loyalty
-
Stimulates feelings of well-being, gratitude and compassion
A typical meditation session will include:
-
Introduction to meditation - its benefits to the body and mind.
-
Guided meditation - different types of exercises designed to train the mind to focus on the present moment and release stress.
-
Group discussion - how did it go for each person? Plus time for questions and answers.
-
Tips and tricks - to build your own daily meditation practice (how and when to meditate and for how long).
-
While one-time meditation sessions are possible, it is recommended that they be offered on a regular basis (weekly or bi-weekly) to have a real impact on your team's life. All meditations can be held online or face-to-face.
