Many of us are in leadership roles or belong to communities that are committed to a vision of mindfulness, caring, mutual support and wisdom. However, while we may see community’s potential, the often discouraging reality is that power dynamics, hierarchy and “in groups” can hold sway.
In this experiential workshop, we will look at how to work with these community dynamics as a mindfulness/awareness practice. We will learn the skills for creating a warm, welcoming environment that invites and empowers members to contribute their energy and talents to the community, working skillfully with chaos and conflict while recognizing our common ground of tenderness and compassion. We will also develop a practice field in which shared leadership and collective wisdom dynamically emerge.
Mukara Meredith, MSW, CHT, has 26 years' experience teaching, consulting and working in the healing arts. A certified Hakomi trainer, student of the Biodynamic Cranial System and instructor in group dynamics at Naropa University, Mukara integrates universal principles of healing into a new model of leadership called Matrixworks.
Susan Skjei, MS, is president of SaneSystems, a consulting firm specializing in leadership coaching and organizational transformation. Formerly a vice president and chief learning officer in the high-tech industry, she has over 25 years' experience designing and facilitating participative approaches to strategic planning and cultural change for business, nonprofit and community organizations. A senior teacher in the Shambhala Buddhist tradition, Susan has taught meditation programs in the United States, Canada and Europe. She is also the director of the Authentic Leadership program at Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado, and a founding member of the Shambhala Institute in Nova Scotia, Canada.
