Leadership Embodiment Fundamentals – Scottish Highlands

September 26, 2015 - September 27, 2015

Please contact James Knight via the Centre for Embodied Wisdom website to enquire about this event.

This re-energising workshop will take you through the fundamentals of Leadership Embodiment, showing you how to maintain a calm presence even when you have to stand in opposition, how to listen at deeper levels in order to hear underlying requests, and how to stay true to your intentions in the face of resistance. It is suitable to parents, managers, those interested in the capacity of the body to support the mind, and to anyone facing challenges in their daily life.

Participants are given an insight into their own reactive patterns of behaviour under stress, as well as creative responses. It encourages an aligned presence based on what is truly important, building greater resilience.

This embodied experience shows participants how the mind/body connection affects communication, collaboration and success. The tools and practices – derived from mindfulness and martial arts – give immediate physical feedback, powerfully revealing habitual reactive patterns.

Through physical experience participants discover how they can be more creative, more powerful, more fully embodied as leaders of their own lives.
