Announcing the Applied Mindfulness Conference 2010

Tail of the Tiger is pleased to announce the details of the Third Annual Applied Mindfulness Conference, July 22 – 25, 2010. Professionals from all mindfulness traditions are invited to join the ongoing discussion about bringing mindfulness into the wider world. This year’s conference is happening at Karme Choling Shambhala Meditation Center, and will focus on the theme Communicating the Power of Mindfulness.

This year, we have another strong faculty joining us, including Robert Birkenes, Susan Piver, and Susan Skjei. Robert will discuss how mindfulness has assisted him to bridge cultural differences and resolve conflict between tribal leaders and military personnel in Baghdad. Susan Piver will present exercises and discussions that reveal how the journey through our emotions gives rise to a natural voice of candor, openness, and confidence. Susan Skjei’s two-part presentation will guide participants into a realization of how the power of mindful communication can build flourishing communities. Topics that these business workshops will address include engaging values, reducing stress, developing strategies for leadership, working with emotional energies, and running small businesses.

Panels will bring the entire conference together to discuss how we can bring contemplative disciplines into our activities. Luncheon groups with the speakers and workshop presenters, as well as social events, will help everyone become better acquainted.
