Mindfulness Meditation Workshops for Organizations

Mindfulness meditation workshops enable socially responsible businesses, non-profit organizations and educational institutions to bring out the best in their people.

Bring the teachings of mindfulness meditation to your organization. By combining formal and informal meditation practices with an MBA in sustainable management, Augusta brings a special knowledge of the challenges and possibilities of the modern workplace.

This made my whole day better. She gave us a lot to think about. I had a more productive afternoon because I was more focused.

Offering an array of customizable meeting arrangements, Augusta brings the full range of her practice and study to the concerns of the group. Every individual carries unique stressors based on their work life and personal history; a college student’s needs will vary greatly from the needs of a CEO. Mindfulness training led by Augusta assists participants in recognizing their own needs, reactions, habits, and language for stressful situations and shows how these factors have a profound influence on our resilience and sense of well-being. She is an experienced mindfulness teacher with a diverse clientele from the corporate, nonprofit, academic, and entrepreneurial/start-up sectors.

I feel much calmer and more grounded, I have more tools for coping with discomfort in all its forms. I think more about the ways I listen to and respond to others.

I am so delighted that we have been able to bring your work to our Cohort members. I have heard from a number that their time together with you has been fruitful and timely for them. Thanks for what you do to bring greater mindfulness into the world and for your gifts to the Wellbeing Project.

I brought Augusta in to lead an MBSR workshop for me and my team. It provided the perfect start to our two day workshop in that it gave everyone on the team time to let go of the stress of their daily job, and come to the remainder of the workshop present and refreshed. I would highly recommend Augusta for leading an MBSR workshop geared towards high performing teams that must manage the stress that comes with working at a high growth company.

I worked with Augusta for two years in her capacity as mindfulness teacher and coach and recommend her without reservation. From a professional standpoint, she is responsible, good on follow through, punctual and easy to work with. From a knowledge standpoint, she has deep expertise in the role of helping people be more creative, effective, productive and engaged, in work and non-work contexts in MBSR and other mindfulness meditation formats. With an MBA, as well as many years of committed mindfulness practice, she bring a strong balance and deep understanding of how to accommodate the sometimes conflicting needs of career and development. From a skills standpoint, she is a top notch facilitator, able to reach the skeptical and new while keeping people with experience involved.

Augusta has a confident and knowing way about her. She walks the walk of mindfulness with ease and grace, and no small dose of enthusiasm for her mission, which is to bring to others the same kind of awareness of and appreciation for life’s beauty and mystery she possesses. After just one brief session with Augusta, I was hard-pressed to experience anything the way I did before. I’d call that impact.
