Deepen leadership, contemplative and restorative practices

Deepen contemplative and restorative practices with Dr. Angel Acosta : Weave leadership development with conversations about inequality and healing to support organizational leaders.

How can I develop and weave my leadership with conversations about inequality and healing ? What are my discomforts, what prevents me from facilitating restorative conversations about inequality ? How to guide our communities through a careful dialogue about their racial and structural inequalities in order to generate healing and restoration ? What is my legitimacy to facilitate this type of dialogue ?

Join us in an interactive session exploring the better understanding of collective trauma and developing learning experiences that weave leadership development with conversations about inequality and healing to support educational leaders through contemplative and restorative practices. Come live a session focused on healing, where the heart and science invites you to slow down to better understand what is going on in you and in the people with whom you have a dialogue. During this working, you will be invited to do a reflectivity on their practices, to learn more about the research on collective, healing and contemplation practices. Under the expertise and kindness of Dr. Angel Acosta :

• come discuss your role as a leader with mindfulness
• take the opportunity to ask the questions that burn your lips.
• exchange on how you feel and what holds you back from opening discussions about racial or structural inequalities in your organization or the neighborhood in which you work.
