Workshop at the SFU Student Leadership Summit

The true martial artist aims for mind-body unity – not to defeat the opponent – but to meet and become as he is so that the hearts of both may be transformed. The heart is where we lead and are lead from, but it is also a risky, difficult and dangerous place. We learn to hide and protect ourselves from the pain of being seen and going unseen for what is at the centre of our being. Entering into the heart puts us in touch with the conditioned judgments we carry. How can we lead from and with the heart when we wish to close off so that creative and generative ways of being can emerge? This workshop is an inquiry into the bodily, sensory experience of interpersonal encounter and the value of mind-body practices for working with varying states of consciousness in leadership contexts.
