“We are constantly trying to hold it all together. If you really want to see why you do things, then don't do them and see what happens.” Michael A. Singer, The Untethered Soul: The Journey Beyond Yourself Tonight’s contemplation: what are the things you believe you have to do to hold it all together? The house, the relationship, the family, the job… What would happen if you stopped over-giving, as a means to get security/safety/connection etc. Play the scenario out, and the strategy often falls apart. Perhaps we are not as in control as we think we are. Photo by @go2africa #untetheredsoul #contemplativeleadership #mindful #eveningroutine

FATHER’S FIRE — The Fatherhood Unlocked Online Men’s Group is open for enrollment now! This 3-month men’s group is for you if: 🔥 You want to parent and father with clear vision and intention. 🔥 You recognize that your actions and ways of being are primarily what your children model after, not your words. 🔥 You are willing to be uncomfortable for the benefit of your family. 🔥 You want a strong vibrant community of good men to do fatherhood with. 🔥 You want to develop both your inner world and outer world. 🔥 You are willing to put work in on your actual life, not just come together to connect. 🔥 You are motivated by giving back to your community and doing your part for the big picture. 🔥 You are open to leaning into the big, hard questions of our time. 🔥 You are willing to both lead and be led. 🔥 You love your children and are ready to act on that love. I would love to have you!

Richard Rohr would say that wisdom is earned by holding opposites at the same time. My own understanding of wisdom comes out in an equation: Wisdom = life lived X presence. Meaning that I think we earn wisdom simply by being as present as possible while going through life. Nature and adventure helps us do that. So do crisis, emotion, joy, and anything that gets our attention loud enough to stop and pay attention. Meditation and practice help. Slowing down enough to actually stop is more than helpful, it’s critical. A few years back I felt deeply called to share a message of how important emotions are–and how much it hurts when we run a program of repression all the time. Today I feel most called to share a message of life lived wide open–where spiritual reality is experienced and worked with. We don’t need to understand it fully, but we do need to live. What is spirituality? It’s what happens when we stop running away from everything. It’s what happens when we hold our seat, stand our ground, and soften to the wild reality that happens every moment of our life.

This is the last one in this series for now. Thanks for joining me this week as we reflect on #contemplativeleadership If we desire a different way, then we will imagine and create a different way. Feel free to suggest topics in spirituality that you want to see here, this topic came as a request from others, so thanks! #ourunforming #spirituality #spiritualformation

When communal discernment is an ongoing listening practice of the community, then when a major decision needs to be made the community is already attuned to their sacred identity. Each individual is also affirmed of their role in the collective. #contemplativeleadership #ourunforming #spirituality #discernment

Noticing and paying attention to what arises from within us is a practice we can do individually, but also a practice we can do communally. #contemplativeleadership #ourunforming #collective #spirituality #attentiveness

What does it look and feel like to slow down as an organization or a community? To unform our constant sense of urgency, obligations, and productivity, we need leaders that can facilitate a cultural shift. #contemplativeleadership #ourunforming #dewesternize #spiritualformation #spirituality

You’d think this one was obvious, yet this has been the downfall of our communities. We don’t require that leaders engage their own inner work. Self-awareness is the foundation of contemplative leadership. We need leaders that are willing to look inside themselves first and continuously. Contemplative leaders are not afraid of therapy and spiritual direction or even extended times alone in a non-performative way. #contemplativeleadership #spirituality #dewesternize #spiritualformation #ourunforming

I've recently received a few requests to write more about #contemplativeleadership I tend to avoid discussions on leadership because I find our western, patriarchal leadership literature to be very boring. But I'm in a season where I'm learning to honor the roles in which I have influence. I want to enter with a healthy recognition of the influences I may hold rather than constantly doubting and questioning myself. And rather than copying the white male leaders I've seen that have often demonstrated a leadership of performance, I am embodying my own quiet and compassionate way. So I start a short series here on what I'm learning as a contemplative leader. #spirituality #dewesternizing #spiritualformation #ourunforming

There is still time to register for the Nine Faces of Contemplative Leadership: An Enneagram Retreat! What is the Enneagram? The Enneagram describes nine personality types and maps each of these types on a nine-pointed diagram which helps to illustrate how the types relate to one another. Our facilitators, Janet Drey and Adele Ver Steeg, will engage the Enneagram with Contemplative leadership, inviting us to creatively engage the tensions of living more consciously in the midst of active life and service. All leaders are invited to join, whether you lead in the work place, a ministry, or in your family.

Contemplative leadership invites us to creatively engage the tensions of living more consciously in the midst of active life and service.

20 years ago I was 19 and I'd left home for the first time, had a miscarriage, joined the Army and was released with severe panic disorder, got a motorcycle and crashed it...and was living the lives that follow a young woman in the midst of a mental health crisis trying to make sense of the world on her own. ⁠ ⁠ This day was capped by the loss of one of my best friends in a motorcycle accident. It broke me. It was too much and I couldn't take it anymore. I stopped wanting to participate in my life and it got really dark for a long time.⁠ ⁠ While I recognize now what getting help looks like, I didn't do that. I shouldered the black hole I was living in and it took me a long, long time crawl out, and to repair the damages—and still some linger. I incurred many more significant losses over these couple of decades and kept trying to figure out how to be whole, regardless.⁠ ⁠ Today, I'm doing well. Not only have I lived it fully, but I've been trained in deep coaching, grief/loss support, contemplative leadership, mindfulness and as a death doula. One of my gifts is to sit with others in their sludge. And, I'm honoring this day by opening my doors and saying, "I'm ready." I'm launching my business in hopes to help others through their deep losses, to coach from the heart and help guide new leaders to lead from the heart. ⁠ ⁠ My greatest hope is that I can shine one's own light back to them in their darkness. I hope to help a new generation of leaders to lead with love and vulnerability. I've never wanted loss to be in vain, and I hope to honor the losses that changed me by giving what I have back to the world. ⁠ ⁠ With love.🖤⁠ ⁠ #grief #loss #love #coach #deepcoach #leadership #contemplativeleadership #heart #mentalhealth #guide #light #hope

90% of the clients who come to me struggle with some form of anxiety. Some on a social level too. The form of anxiety may differ but the experience remains the same. They provoke the same neurological and physical responses - racing thoughts, heart palpitations, insomnia, tightness in the chest, headaches, clenched jaws, inability to truly be still. A common coping mechanism for leaders is to push through stress, fatigue and fear. But here’s a truth bomb: If you don’t look at your anxiety in the face at some point, it will take you down. And if you’re a perfectionist, the overthinking and anxiety will be a recipe for burnout and breakdown. (I’ve seen it happening too many times 🤯) I don’t tell my clients to suppress or get rid of ‘anxiety’. But rather to transform their relationship with it. Precisely because anxiety is a powerful frenemy, so we gotta make it our partner. No one should feel paralysed by anxiety. Learn how to transform your relationship with anxiety so you can be a more effective, resilient & calm leader, partner, father, mother. If you decide to embark on a coaching journey with me, DM me or email [email protected] The first conversation is always free. 🤎 Let’s dive in.

When people ask me what drew me to mindfulness, it's simply this: An earnest search for peace. And perhaps an urge to understand our human nature, coupled with a desire to help others. READY TO TRANSFORM YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH ANXIETY & BURNOUT? 💫 You can read some books, download a bunch of guided meditation apps, listen to podcasts and still find yourself stuck in a rut. Or perhaps you haven't done any practice to examine your inner life. Or simply put, where do you start? It takes a deliberate training of the mind to make paradigm shifts. But better yet, to take an honest look inside. Majority of my clients are Senior Executives / team leaders (HR Directors, Financial Consultants, Accountants, Senior Managers, Art Therapists, Writers etc) who want to see results -- and they have. That's why I'm confident I can teach you these skills too. Mindfulness coaching is a deep enquiry into parts of yourself you might have exiled or ignored for many years: body, heart and mind. The journey & transformation is profound. And I'm here to walk with you, hold your hand as we deep dive into these delicate layers, and challenge you to come up to the surface for air. I'm known to cut through the noise, for my signature no-BW (bells and whistles) style and the gentle space I will carve for you as we navigate these landscapes. "The busier you are, the more you need mindfulness." — Harvard Business Review. The first discovery session is always free.

Personal development is professional development. When we make space for pause, for contemplation, for deep examination, we awaken the powerful tools of wisdom, compassion and wakeful presence. I coach senior executives on Anxiety, Burnout, Stress Management and ultimately, Self-discovery. Using a blend of effective techniques — Mindfulness, Somatic Release, Contemplation and Guided Meditation. For 1:1 bespoke mindfulness coaching, DM me for a complimentary discovery session.

Getting selected as a Dalai Lama Fellow (DLF) for my systemic development work especially through Hype Sri Lanka, is a dream come true. Since stumbling upon the DLF programme in 2015 as a university fresher, I made it a life goal to become a Fellow since I was drawn to the programme because of its focus on contemplative leadership. So thankful and humbled to be here six years down the line. A sincere thank you to Ephrem Woldeyesus for the attestation and to the Hype Sri Lanka Team for working so hard in the past two years to get us where we are. To be the second Sri Lankan chosen for this Fellowship since its inception in 2011, makes this a fantastic opportunity for me to represent the Country whilst the island nation goes through a national crisis. The DLF is jointly delivered by The Contemplative Sciences Centre of The University of Virginia, The Stanford Flourishing Project of The University of Stanford, and The Boulder Renée Crown Wellness Institute of The University of Colorado. A sincere thank you to the DLF for choosing me and spotlighting the work we do at Hype Sri Lanka! #HypeSL #DLFellow2022 #ContemplativeLeadership

The shadow of do-gooding is separation and inflated egos. The shadow of spirituality is abuse and misused power. But the shadow of business is love. What would happen if we could let our entire human truth out at work? I'll give one of many answers: we'd cut through an immense amount of wasted time and energy. We lose SO MUCH energy with what we hold inside. We rarely actually connect to our colleagues, we look right past them and they look right past us. We unleash a small fraction of what we're really capable of. So we're hamstrung and hobbling through the thing we spend most of our precious lives doing. I'm not into playing at anything except full capacity. To me a great leader has not only unlocked their capacity, but is constantly and naturally unlocking the capacity of their team and their org. For leaders who are ready to go unconventional, I have a 90 day coaching intensive that starts with a full day of dropping deep in nature, shedding unneeded baggage and accessing a level of clarity that shines through their organization and their whole life. Check the link in the bio for more details.

Right now, in this moment, space is everywhere. We are mostly made up of space. We can find this space by turning our attention to our breath in any moment. The more we train our mind toward space and breath, the less we feel controlled by the claustrophobia and anxiety of life. Chaos and stress and the unending movement of life become reminders to find our breath again… To come home to our true nature — infinite stillness. . . . #meditation #relax #relaxation #relationshipcoach #personalgrowth #personalgrowthjourney #personalgrowthcoach #menscoach #menscoaching #parenting #parenting101 #parentalresponsibility #parentalrelationships #parentslove #familyrelationships #coparenting #embodiment #embodimentcoach #contemplativeleadership #deepakchopra #chopra #trungpa #chogyamtrungpa

#ContemplativeLeadership #BeckyEldredge #indifference #Examen #SpiritualExercises #magis #humility #awareness #IgnatianSpirituality #peopleforothers * St. Ignatius’s Model of Contemplative Leadership By Becky Eldredge * St. Ignatius Loyola offers us a model of contemplative leadership, as shown in the following ten characteristics of leaders. * Contemplative leaders… * 1. See the real. Ignatius invites us to see the world, ourselves, and others as God sees them. This means seeing both the joys and the sorrows we are holding and knowing that we are offered both love and mercy. 2. Immerse themselves in the world. Ignatius began a religious order whose members live as contemplatives in action. They live as monks in the middle of the city. Those called to contemplative leadership let their prayer and faith lives impact their active lives in the world. 3. Discern individually and communally. We are given a model of the importance of discerning God’s invitations both as individuals and as communities. Ignatius authentically lived the discernment wisdom he left to the world. He discerned the Spirit’s movements in him and taught his community how to discern the Spirit’s call collectively. 4. Are reflective. Ignatius offers us the Examen as a prayer tool to live a reflective life by reviewing each day through God’s eyes. He also offers the wisdom of reviewing each week’s prayer. Being reflective and learning from the past helps contemplative leaders get a sense of where they have come from and where God is inviting them to go.

No doubt we continue to live in hard times, with many more questions than answers. • We are all dealing with different levels of grief, despair, and uncertainty. Perhaps this is a time for the contemplative to come forward and offer those suffering the opportunity to root themselves in the “peace that passes understanding.” • Have a read of our Director's most recent blog!

#TuesdayTip Be open-minded and curious, but retain your discernment and wisdom. Don't believe everything you read, see and hear. People often embellish - on social media, in conversations, etc - about everything. As an executive coach and behavioral psychology expert for over 20 years, I observe my clients comparing their life experiences with what others report their experiences to be. This can lead to costly mistakes. *** #MindfulMojo #MindfulLeadership #Leadership #LeadershipSpeaker #EmergingLeaders #ContemplativeLeadership #Consultant #CorporateTraining #ExecutiveCoach #KeynoteSpeaker #VirtualServices #VirtualPrograms

As we continue our imagine what it means to "be alone together", Hamsa Yoga will be adding a weekly Saturday morning Meditation "Retreat" - a 75-minute session that will include a spiritual talk, breathing practices, and two 20-minute meditation sessions. As I think about the essential skills and practices needed in times such as these, meditation seems to me to be a non-negotiable and a necessary balm. Additionally, Lesli Maes will be offering a FREE hour-long online class every Wednesday. Lesli's generosity, care for the community, and brilliance as a yoga teacher exemplify what it means to be a contemplative leader. I hope you will be able to join her. ______________________ Hamsa Yoga Online Schedule: Friday 10am-11:15am ~ All Levels / Intermediate with Alan Saturday 8:15am-9:30am ~ NEW Weekly Meditation Retreat with Alan Wednesday 10am-11am ~ FREE Online Community Class with Lesli ______________________ Hamsa Yoga Online Instructions For those of you who would like to join us for online yoga classes, you will need to: • Download the MindBody Online app. Pre-register for class on Hamsa Yoga's MindBody page: https://clients.mindbodyonline.com/classic/mainclass?fl=true&tabID=7 • Download the Zoom app. | https://zoom.us/ • You can use your existing MindBody account, or can purchase an online single session for $8.

Excited for tonight’s Cardoner presentation with Thomas Yeomans, Ph.D., (through the magic of @skype ) titled “Earth on Fire: Soul Awakening and Species Maturity”. #cardonerinstitute #contemplativeleadership #psychosynthesis #spiritualpsychology

The Practice of Contemplative Leadership is a series of four retreats held over a year’s time, designed to renew the spirit and inspire the leadership of innovative leaders who want to transform themselves, their organizations and our culture from ego-centric competition to eco-centric cooperation and collaboration. This work brings together the spiritual teachings of the world’s major wisdom traditions with the cutting-edge science of evolutionary biology and neuroscience. Drawing from the books Prosocial and No Self No Problem, we will help leaders to drop the illusion of the separate self and begin to see with ego-less clarity. All retreats are held in the beautiful Texas Hill Country. Join us! #prosocial #contemplativeleadership #retreats #leadershipretreat #contemplation #calmatthecove

“Not all of us are called to be hermits, but all of us need enough silence and solitude in our lives to enable the deeper voice of our own self to be heard at least occasionally.” ~Thomas Merton #thomasmerton #thomasmertonquote #contemplation #contemplativeleadership #cardonerinstitute #reflection #silence #solitude #solitudequotes #firenze

Thank you @l_aiyana_l for beautifying and enlightening our client’s “Study Hall” Room this afternoon. This sentence shouted out to me when I read it in this morning’s email from The Center for Action and Contemplation. Luckily, Aiyana had her paint brushes ready for contemplative action! 🙏🏻💪🏻🙌🏻.

Grateful for the opportunity to guide a group of individuals at Manresa Jesuit Retreat House through a few episodes in the life of Ignatius of Loyola - as a template for discovering moments of transformation in their own spiritual journey. While flipping through one of my books, I came across this beautiful image from my spiritual director’s spiritual director - Walt Farrell, SJ. “The Cardoner enlightenment was like a magnet pulling into new unity and integration the iron filings of the pieces of Ignatius’s whole previous life.” Grateful for the many gifts I have received from this living tradition of “fires who kindle other fires.” #ignatianspirituality #ignatius #stignatiusofloyola #ignatiusofloyola #ignatianyoga @ignatianyoga #cardonerinstitute #contemplativeleadership #contemplativeleadersinaction #contemplation #contemplativepractice #jesuits #midwestjesuits @midwestjesuits #jesuiteducated #jesuithonorsociety #alphasigmanu #iggyinspiration

“Long ago, Aristotle wrote that one learned what justice was by practicing justice, one learned what beauty was by exposing oneself to beauty, and one learned what goodness was by doing good. So too we could say that we learn what gratitude is by acting gratefully. Gratitude can liberate us in this culture, but we must also consciously choose the practices that will liberate gratitude.” ~Mary Jo Leddy, from Radical Gratitude (A photo of my kitchen table this afternoon as I organized my thoughts for my presentation for The Cardoner Institute.

DO ONE THING If you find yourself in a job of great responsibility, it can be difficult to find time to work on your most important initiatives. Some days five minutes will not go by without someone needing an answer, or a meeting that needs to be led, or fire to be put out. Often what suffers is the task or project that should be strategically most important to your success. This undermines your ability to drive your team towards its most vital goals. This is when the idea of “Do One Thing” can help. Do One Thing means we start the day by completing one task related to our most important priority. This task may take anywhere from five minutes to an hour. It is best done first thing in the morning before we plug into the sticky web of emails, Slack messages, and text messages. We want to do this one thing proactively rather than reacting to what our team needs. In order to pull this off on a daily basis, we need to prepare for it. Identify your top strategic priority and its work plan. Keep a list or project management tool to track the tasks. Wunderlist or Wrike are my favorites. Pick the day’s task the night before so you can hit the ground running in the morning and complete it before you log-in to the deluge of people and situations that pull on your attention. Set-up a sprint cycle for yourself where you do one thing each morning for a week, take a few days off, then start another round. Treat your first Do One Thing sprint as an experiment -- commit to it completely, then adjust its structure on your next sprint. For a bit of extra focus start your day with 20 minutes of meditation, do your one thing, then allow yourself to get sucked back into the Matrix of collaborating with others. #leadership #leadershipdevelopment #focus #contemplativeleadership #startup #startups #startuplife #meditation #productivity #productivityhacks

"Gratitude is a gracious acknowledgement of all that sustains us, a bow to blessings, great and small. Gratitude is the confidence in life itself. In it, we feel the same force that pushes grass through cracks in the sidewalk, invigorating our own life. In Tibet, the monks and nuns even offer prayers of gratitude for the suffering they have been given: "Grant that I might have enough suffering to awaken in me the deepest possible compassion and wisdom." Gratitude does not envy or compare. Gratitude receives in the wonder of the myriad offering of rain and sunlight, the care that supports every single life. As gratitude grows it gives rise to joy." ~Jack Kornfield excerpt from "The Wise Heart: A Guide to the Universal Teachings of Buddhist Psychology" ___________________________ Beginning September 29th, The Cardoner Institute will be exploring a variety of evidence-based practices for cultivating gratitude as well as effective strategies for building our sense of personal agency, confidence and resilience. This seminar, titled "Deep Work: Gratitude, Generativity & Joy", is already 1/3 full.
