Staying Grounded in the Midst of Stress and Triggers at Work
Our state of being is contagious. Our courage and sense of possibility can light people up, and our fear and unmanaged emotions can create an organizational mess. As leaders, how do we stay grounded and bring out the best in the people we work with, particularly when we ourselves feel emotionally triggered at work? In this session, Tami Simon, the founder of Sounds True, one of the world’s fastest-growing multi-media publishers of spiritual wisdom, shares the essential keys and practices that enable her to stay anchored in the body and continually resilient in the midst of stressful situations.
There are many "fads" around Mindfulness and meditation, and the idea is to answer the questions many leaders can have around Mindfulness and Meditation. Some of them will be: - What is the difference between mindfulness and meditation - What are the benefits of Mindfulness and Mediation in Leadership - How to practice it "when there is no time for it" - Which type of meditation is best in Leadership? - What prevents Leaders from practicing Mindfulness and Meditation? - What can happen if leaders do practice...?
The interface between women's experiences, such as menstruation, gestation, birth and menopause, and creative power and how rage and grief can be obstructions to this source power.
Embodiment refers to more than a discrete physical self. It also includes all the relationships of that self. To be embodied is to participate in sensual relationships with the material world. Without these, we become lost -- lost in a maze of opinions, numbers, and facts abstracted from tangible experience. Technology and the pandemic have heightened this disconnection, with devastating effects on health and civic cohesion. The way back to wholeness starts with reclaiming the relationships of our material selves.

Four Core States that Catalyze Sustainable Transformation
Dylan Newcomb
Dylan explores two of what he calls ‘the four core modes of embodiment.’ These are four different ways to be present to how we are enacting our embodiment. Eg, what is it like to be present in this way? Or that way? Some modes may feel more familiar and comfortable, while others may feel less familiar and less comfortable, but these build our resilience. He talks about how these can relate to our strengths while simultaneously posing challenges / growth opportunities. The process is something Dylan has developed over the last 15 years and is known as UZAZU Dynamic Embodiment.
The body is an amazing connector to spirit. Several ancient cultures recognized that there is no difference between body and spirit, that what animates the body is spirit and therefore the body is a divine instrument. Modern science is also showing us how our bodies are so intimately connected to the very source of life. This view of the body is what supports both movement as a spiritual practice and movement as a healing art.
The human body is filled with portals to the infinite. In this class, based on a key tantric text called the Vijnana Bhairava, we’ll explore some of the secrets of meditation in the subtle body. Sally is offering a Circle of Light meditation as a bonus gift for the conference.
