Many employers in today’s busy and stressful work environment are seeking cost-effective ways to reduce workplace stresses, and provide alternative preventative measures. Continued professional and personal development is a key component of any successful organisation. Businesses will find that by utilising the arts and mindfulness techniques, they can induce responses and create outcomes that are different from traditional training and personal development programs.
Why Mandala Art & Meditation in the workplace?
Art
Art making engages the imagination and stretches the mind far beyond the verbal dimension, presenting a uniquely different, practical and creative approach to team work. Insight can be gained to foster personal creativity and productivity. Working in teams with mandala art unifies people, making them realise that they are not alone in this, team effort matters. It helps us become more self-aware and able to better ourselves. It releases tension and often shows us that order can be created out of chaos.
Mindfulness
Using mindful creative practice in the workplace is highly beneficial to both businesses and their employees. Mindfulness and creativity can help provide a higher standard of customer service by giving staff the skills to respond more appropriately to their daily challenges.
Meditation
Meditation is a common practice for many extremely successful people, and with good reason. When you run a business, your most valuable asset is your mind and the minds of your employees. Many things in our lives are outside of our control. We cannot always control the world around us, or what other people say and do, but through meditation, we can control our own minds. A trained mind can be the best friend you have ever had, and with it, one can accomplish things one never thought possible.
This is not a course that will end with you receiving a bundle of notes which you duly place in your bottom drawer in the office or dump in the back of your car. This course will give you a life skill that can help you to cope better and respond more appropriately when stress hits.
Maximum number of participants per session: 20
The full day workshop will consist of meditation, mindfulness techniques and tips. A co-created mandala will be created by the group working together in creative teams.
