Imagine being 10 times bigger than the challenges you face…well, you are, although you might not know it! That’s the core message behind The Institute for Zen Leadership. Its residential courses and retreats mix traditional zazen meditation with leadership skills, helping people to face and overcome their challenges in the world outside. Not at all like your regular leadership course though: the focus is more on the body, not the mind. During this course, we were introduced to many physical practices, including meditation, yin yoga, tai chi, sound healing – and laughter yoga – all of which help to shift stale energy.
