Dr. Pennington's Attunement Meditation empowers people to build 9 essential resilience traits for wellbeing and relapse prevention, including:
non-judgmental awareness, present moment attention,acceptance,
self-compassion, physiological stress reduction, letting go/surrender, emotional intelligence, self-generated positive emotion and gratitude, and adaptability.

Meditation is a combination of deep relaxation and awareness. It is a technique for calming the mind and connecting with one's actual self. We grow so engrossed in the complications of our hectic life that we lose touch with our actual nature. Every person possesses an infinite supply of delight. Love is a part of who we are at our core.Our actual Self is love, and meditation, the age-old practise of quiet the mind, is the method to find it. It is the boundless joy and calm that we experience when we meditate, when we sit motionless for a few minutes with ourselves.

Buddhist Mindfulness - Bhante Vimalaramsinaamaruupa
A brief introduction to buddhist meditation as taught by Bhante Vimalaramsi.
"Meditation is observing how mind's attention moves moment-to-moment in order to see clearly and precisely 'HOW' the impersonal process of Dependent Origination occurs."
"How you manage your attention today influences your life tomorrow. The great opportunity of our time is to harness our inner technology … to learn to fully optimize nature’s most powerful operating system: the human mind. Mindfulness is a mental discipline for developing personal awareness and mastery of one’s inner life." Bess Gallanis at Ignite Chicago on February 6, 2012.
Mindfulness. It’s a pretty straightforward word. It suggests that the mind
is fully attending to what’s happening, to what you’re doing, to the space you’re
moving through. That might seem trivial, except for the annoying fact that we
so often veer from the matter at hand. Our mind takes flight, we lose touch with
our body, and pretty soon we’re engrossed in obsessive thoughts about something that just happened or fretting about the future. And that makes us anxious.

We Need To Be Mindful About Mindfulness - Psychology Matters 2017Chris Noone
We are used to hearing about the benefits of mindfulness for everything from relieving stress to making chocolate tastier - it is even being employed by the US military to improve their troops' performance levels. This begs the question of how much do we really know about what mindfulness is, how it might work and in what situations is it truly useful? We'll take a look at how psychology has addressed these questions and what this means for the application of mindfulness in different areas of society.

About our logo - The Himalayan Blue Poppy
The Himalayan Blue poppy is a native of southeastern
Tibet.
Responsive to its environment, with the right balance of
water, light, air and soil this plant is extremely resilient
and adaptable and will produce the spectacular,
saucer shaped, bright blue flowers that make it such a
sought after specimen.
Its ability to adapt, its resilience, uniqueness and its
messages of ecological sustainability reflect the
values which underpin our organisation.

What is resilience?
Why do we need to build our resilience?
Aligning our core talents with our values
Collaborative conversations on building our
resilience using World Café
Harvest our collective insights
Personal planning and coaching for resilience
Workshop close
4. What is resilience?
The ability to ‘bounce back’ from adversity, or
rise above a situation
The capacity to handle challenges &
opportunities of work & life by doing things
which include:
– Recognising the signs & symptoms that for you
indicate your resilience is slipping - your stressors and
physiological responses
– Knowing the best way to ride life’s ups & downs for
you to stay well, feel energized and in control
– To act in a resilient manner
5. Resilience and Stressors
Stressors can have quite a number of different characteristics:
• External, physical stimulus (heights or a loud noise).
• An event, (loosing your job, divorce, starting a new role).
• An internal thought or worry. For example you suddenly
think that you forgot to turn off the stove – no event has
occurred but the stressor is real.
• Long term like a family member with an ongoing illness or a
debilitating injury or dissatisfying job, or it can be acute like
a sudden shock. It can be in the past (bereavement) or in
the future as an anticipated negative event, like a public
speaking engagement.
What are your stressors? Make a list of 5.
6. Resilience - Response
• We often respond whilst we are feeling the effects of the
emotional response.
• What does that look like for you? Think about how this
affects your behaviour at work and home.
• What sort of impact do you think this will have on your
teams/colleagues/family?
• We have a choice in how we respond. You may not be
responsible for the events in your life but you are in control of
your response to those events.

capacity to understand and

15. Your core talents
Thing about the times when you’ve felt at your
best, when you’re energised and engaged. Now
ask yourself and respond to the following
questions and statements:
1) What gifts can people count on me for?
2) When I am making a difference, creating value,
my talents that “show up” are…
3) Other people tell me I make a difference by:
4) When I am working with others, and we are

contributing…

have that make a difference – are:

What makes you tremble?
Why do you do the work you do?
17. Environmental strategies
Factors external to us can impact on
how we feel at work.
Environment
Modifying, working hours
Changing the office layout
Modifying expectations
Limiting, unnecessary stress
Playing relaxing music
Adjusting work flows
Questioning organisational
structure – does enable resilience?
Creating physical spaces
Planning your ideal week – making
the time for you
18. Building resilience through building
relationships
“a problem shared is a problem
halved”
Building
Relationships connecting and sharing how we
feel with others provides us with the
opportunity to vent our feelings and
reconsider how we want to be
feeling about an issue
when expressing our emotions we
do begin to feel differently
others might also provide us with an
additional perspective on how we
feel – it’s not about judging you!
19. Building resilience through building
relationships
Conversational leadership
Building
a leader’s intentional use of
Relationships conversation as a core process to
cultivate the collective intelligence
needed to create value
It is a leadership praxis, an approach to
leadership that is embedded and
embodied in a leader’s very ‘being’
