Brown Bag Lunch Series
Work as Spiritual Practice: Exploring the Work-Life Connection
Wednesday, March 24th, 12:00-1:00
Receive 1 CEU $15 for certificate
On Zoom!
In our contemporary world, we often hear of the “Work/Life Balance,” which assumes that work and life are opposites. In this interactive workshop, we will explore ways to dismantle this dichotomy by recognizing the fundamental connection between work and life. At a time when many people are experiencing heightened feelings of stress, burnout and hopelessness, we’ll look at how techniques of Modern Psychoanalysis dovetail with the Buddhist practice of “Right Effort,” which stresses a joyful concentration on process and letting go of pre-conceived outcomes.
Participants will:
· Examine attitudes toward work as they relate to negative emotions such as anger and stress.
· Explore strategies for integrating work into our personal lives as a means for strengthening interpersonal communication.
· Identify forms of self-care associated with working experiences.
