Many in today's world have been living without awareness of the spiritual dimension and as a result, can suffer deeply as a result of some loss in life. It may be loss of a loved person or a valued role, or of a quality such as trust or compassion or respect. Either way, the pain is real and the damage to our lives lasting when we do not understand why such pain happens, where it comes from, and how to face it and remove it.


With Dadi Janki, Administrative Head of the Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University and President of the Janki Foundation.

Chaired by Jan Alcoe, BSSc - Author, publishing & training consultant in health and social care.

Transformational Leadership - Retreat for managers of social work services

00:00:00
26/09/2008 - 28/09/2008 00:00

Managing change, positively and effectively, is one of the main challenges facing any manager in social care at this present time. It is a ‘sink or swim situation’ in which competing demands for limited resources have to be reconciled with new and different ways of providing quality services.

This residential weekend at the Global Retreat Centre, Oxfordshire, will give you the opportunity to:
* consider new ways of managing change and supporting yourself and others,
* meet and share with like-minded people,
* explore and re-connect with your inner values
* experience the benefits of meditation

Speakers include:
Richard Barrett - an internationally recognised speaker, author, and consultant on values-based leadership.

Mike George - an author, international management tutor, coach and mentor working with individuals and organisations in 30 countries.

This weekend retreat is organised by a working group of social work professionals and members of the Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University (UK).
