Commitments Required *
Participants agree to: ・Be present at all three face-to-face sessions (15 days total), ・Be present on the monthly 3-hour virtual learning community, ・Undertake an application project within their organization or worksite: participants will define their own project, subject to approval by the program faculty. The project should be part of their normal work duties rather than being an "add on", and as a way to explore doing something they would want to do anyway but doing it with sharper focus and more, ・Prepare a portfolio of work over the course of the year, including their application project which will be assessed by the program faculty as part of the qualification process at the end of the year. ・Maintain a regular check-in routine with his/her buddy or buddies. ・Maintain a daily personal cultivation practice: this can take many forms, but must provide a regular and disciplined way to observe their mental states and the flow of thought and emotion stirred while participating in the year-long process. The program faculty will be happy to sort out any questions participants may have regarding what qualifies as a suitable cultivation practice. There will also be a series of special audio recordings with guided Compassionate Systems meditations designed for participants in the program.
