The Mindful Leader Retreat

Bay of Fires
September 23-26, 2010

The Mindful Leader Retreat is a four-day experience designed to offer you some valuable time to reflect and come to find new ways of knowing and being.
You will be afforded the opportunity to explore the power of mindfulness – a meditation practice of moment-to-moment awareness, without our habitual ways of reacting and judging situations. Mindfulness helps you cultivate a sense of connectedness, better emotional regulation, flexibility in our responses and insight.

Set on a hilltop, 40 metres above the pounding of the sea and surrounded by National Park, the Bay of Fires Lodge has been purposely chosen to give you the bigger picture view. It is the only building on 20 km of outstanding coastal wilderness. Drinking in this pristine natural environment is an invitation in itself to help you uncover once again what is most important to you.

Mindfulness: the art of conscious living

Imagine the difference it would make to your life if you could move through each day with a higher level of awareness, acceptance and peace. Welcome to the practice of mindfulness.

While mindfulness has come to us through the Buddhist meditation tradition, there is nothing particularly Buddhist about cultivating our ability to pay attention. In this respect, mindfulness is a universal skill.

Mindfulness can be described as our capacity to pay attention in a particular way – on purpose, in the present moment and non-judgmentally. This kind of attention nurtures greater awareness, clarity, and acceptance of what is happening for us right now.

Mindfulness and the workplace.

Drawing mindfulness into the workplace can help to bring clarity and insight to our daily business, while allowing us to operate from our deepest intentions.

Leadership capability, creativity, connection to others and emotional intelligence are all enhanced through the work of mindfulness.

At Strategic Intent, we offer you a number of opportunities to enhance your work and life through the practice of mindfulness: see below

Getting Unstuck

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction

Getting Unstuck is designed to help you reduce your stress, calm and clarify your mind, cultivate and sustain your capacity to pay attention and create more purposeful action. Current research indicates that training in mindfulness-based stress reduction can lead to more effective handling of negative emotions under stress. In addition, studies have shown an increase in the body’s immune response and an improved ability to deal with physical discomfort.

Based on research from the emergent field of mind-body medicine, Getting Unstuck will help you take responsibility for your own well-being. It offers mindfulness experiences which will guide and support you long after the course is completed. Download the PDF here
