This mini-series provides an introduction to Authentic Leadership--a powerful approach to personal and professional development that can increase one’s capacity for clarity, compassion and effective action in life and at work. 

Drawing on the disciplines of Buddhism, complexity science, organizational learning and leadership, the mini-series will explore methods and practices to help participants cultivate self-awareness and creativity, strengthen and enhance their relationships with others and effectively lead the changes they want to see in their lives and in the world.  The program will include meditation practice, contemplative dialogue and practical application. 

Open to Naropa students, alumni, faculty and staff free of charge. RSVP is requested.
