Deepening the Journey: A Mindfulness Retreat with Sharon Salzberg and Janice Marturano

The Institute for Mindful Leadership is pleased to invite you to join Sharon Salzberg and Janice Marturano for this 4 day retreat which will go beyond the introductory basics of meditation and mindful leadership training. Together we will look at leading with excellence, working with challenges such as burnout and moral uncertainty, and living and leading in the midst of an increasingly divided society. We will also look at ways to connect to a bigger picture, allow for joy, and more skillfully meet the isolation of leadership. In this intimate gathering we will engage in direct practices, and have periods of dialog as well as stretches of silence. This curriculum has been created for experienced mindfulness practitioners with documented training in meditation; participants will be requested to provide background on their personal practice and training.

Please register for the workshop prior to booking your room.
