Authentic Leadership in Action (ALIA) Summer Institute

The Shambhala Summer Institute, held June 21-27 in Halifax, is a five-day program featuring 15-hour modules led by internationally recognized and respected leaders working at the edge of emerging new fields. Choose one of ten modules that best addresses your current leadership challenge and focus. Module presenters include Margaret Wheatley, Bill Torbert, Glenda Eoyang, and James Flaherty.

Each morning begins with a 45-minute session of mindfulness meditation, which clears the way for fresh insight and authentic communication. Creative process workshops engage the intelligence of the body and the senses, while freeing up creativity. The arts are also woven throughout the five-day schedule. Plenary dialogues and keynotes inject big-picture thinking and tap into the collective experience and intelligence of the program community.
