Workshops and Retreats for Your Team

More companies are joining the ranks of Google, Facebook, Lululemon, and Nike by providing space and time for their staff to learn and practice mindfulness meditation. They’ve recognized the measurable positive benefits, such as enhancing performance, productivity, emotional resilience, and leadership acumen based on findings from rigorous scientific research.

Some of the benefits from practicing mindfulness and compassion in skill-based training programs are:

  • Sharpened focus and better cognitive control

  • Greater clarity, creativity, and divergent thinking

  • Reduced stress (reduced symptoms of anxiety and depression)

  • Increases in positive emotion like joy, compassion, and gratitude

  • Resilience and greater emotional balance

I’d Love to Help

Employees are keen to attend mindfulness training at work. Consider the 6+ months waitlist for Google’s mindfulness-based Search Inside Yourself program!

Given the high costs of sick days and mental health stress leave, and the substantial impacts of COVID we’re only beginning to see and understand, you want to do everything possible in your role to support your employees’ wellbeing.

Providing them with training in awareness and compassion practices is a significant offering both to demonstrate a culture of care and compassion while also facilitating skillful training that can lead to a stronger team that will only positively affect the bottom line.

“Angele ran a beautiful workshop for my online membership community called Self-compassion: A Transformational Practice. Members loved her soothing voice and delivery style and still talk today about the techniques she taught them to override the voice of their inner bully and show themselves the love they deserve. We are grateful to Angele for this wonderful gift!”

“We partnered with Dr. Close to offer weekly mindfulness and meditation sessions to our employees for a month. The sessions were well attended and feedback was resoundingly positive! Dr. Close delivered material that was excellent for a very diverse group of people, literally around the world, with wildly varying experiences with mindfulness and meditation. In addition to top-notch content, it was a pleasure to do business with Dr. Close!”
