Mindfulness is proving to be an effective business tool for building connection, engagement and resilient thinking in the face of challenges, change and uncertainty.

Research suggests that mindfulness-based interventions may be helpful with issues like stress, anxiety, depression and unhealthy substance use, which can all be present in our workplaces. Team-based mindfulness sessions offer the additional benefits of team connectedness and cohesiveness through shared experience, either together in the office or virtually, working from home.

Enmasse offers a selection of team and individual-targeted mindfulness programs focused on applying the technique across a variety of everyday experiences. Everyday Mindfulness is workplace training with a difference – it incorporates the immersive, experiential power of expert-guided mindfulness exercises that can be repeated in any setting.

Participants have the opportunity to learn in a team environment before taking their practice on the road through the option of habit-forming mindfulness tracks (podcasts).

Curate a mindfulness journey for your team based on the following series of need-state focused sessions, available as onsite or online workshop.
