Overview
The Online Masterclass
Take part in a course that sees Patrick Boland teach the material he’s been refining for over two decades. Watch as he gives guidance on how to most effectively complete each of the exercises. Participate as he leads a contemplative sit. Listen as he brings his own stories to life.
This twelve-session online course, facilitated by the author, features key content, exercises, and practices from The Contemplative Leader. Designed as an experiential encounter with core content from the book, each session features teaching on the frameworks and approaches that allow us to deepen our contemplative presence. It’s from this grounded awareness that we can best lead others and use our power and influence for good.
This online course can be taken at whatever pace suits best; over several days, weeks, or months. Each of the sessions features a participant booklet, where you can write notes and complete the exercises and practices mentioned in each chapter of the course.
