One thing that could save the corporate world from the Great Resignation? And fall in love with the Corporate world?

This was last December when a team of 5 members from a Financial corporation decided to make the best decision of their whole year. That was to come together for a Modern Mindful Sand art session, to slow down and take a pause, allowing them to jump off the train of expectations from each other as colleagues to a place of non judging and non reaction. It was the hour with Mindful Sand Art experience.

Just like thousands of teams in the world right now, this team too has been working on a hybrid mode, coming together mainly to connect with each other in person only once a month. During the remaining 29 days of the month these teams had only been setting goals for the company, their next tasks to ensure the revenue of the company continues to grow so everyone can continue to have a job. With the world being so volatile right now, the constant fear of not knowing what supply chain interruptions in the world could interrupt their employment, everyone is on their edge. Leaving them reactionary in those daily stand up meetings. The domino effect of these insecure interactions between team members within an organization could be catastrophic for any organization.

One of the most effective vaccines to solve this problem of constant disbelief, anxiety and volatility is enabling your teams to feel safe. Last December in the beautiful setting of Hera hub a beautiful co working space, this is what we achieved. An hour of sanctity, clarity and mindfulness for the team members to engage in a very safe non perfectionistic activity. The Modern Mindful Sand Art! 

It was a joy to watch the participants transform from a stressed out mindset to an inflow easy mode. Since the sand strokes flowed with ease, there was a smile on each of them in the room. Suddenly there was a shift in their self awareness. While they felt threatened being surrounded by their peers on a day to day basis, here they felt less judged as they knew it was line sand and would be erased by the end of the hour.  These women gave their all at work. It was now their time to relax and just create with mild laughs and genuine compliments for each other.

The colors they chose for their art reflected their personality. This was almost a turning point in their perspective of themselves. As each of them was approaching the completion of the art, the satisfaction on their faces was noteworthy. The discussions that followed were going to be a new milestone in their intra team relationships. Each of them shared what they noticed about the other person and their art. Couple of  team members who would otherwise have avoided any interaction with each other had this beautiful art to talk about, before it was time to brush off their creation and learn the art of letting go! 

The skill of Letting go that this team learnt at their year end Mindful retreat, still keeps them going.
