Stress Reduction for Executives
and Leaders

Mindfulness meditation is an accessible and practical tool for decreasing stress, cultivating awareness and nurturing health and well-being. Our corporate programs emphasize the fact that good leadership arises from a sense of ease and connection rather than stress and disconnection. When leaders nurture themselves and align with their own inner resources for health and healing, they are better able to see the big picture in their organizations and foster a more productive and positive environment.

Courses and Workshops

Stress Reduction at Work offers executive mindfulness training in several different forms:

Executive Stress Reduction Retreats

A mindfulness retreat is a wonderful opportunity to train intensively in mindfulness while cultivating a sense of presence, spaciousness, and calm in a quiet country setting. Retreats begin on a Friday night and end on Sunday afternoon. Participants will engage in intensive practice of mindfulness meditation, while receiving didactic information on stress and ways to cultivate mindfulness in daily life. The program also includes mindful communication training, interactive exercises and inquiry, and periods of silence and reflection.

Executive Stress Reduction Daylongs

A great way to introduce employees to mindfulness as a tool for stress reduction and personal healing, daylong sessions include beginning instruction in mindfulness meditation, including the body scan. The day also includes periods of didactic lecture on stress and mindfulness, gentle movement exercises, mindful communication practice and tools for working with stressful events.

Classes & Workshops

We offer one-hour lunchtime classes in mindfulness in 4- or 5-week series as well as half-day or shorter workshops.
