The Topic

In this webinar, Mishel will invite participants to reconsider time in organisational life. She will explore how soul work requires slowing down and engaging with longer temporal horizons — including ancestors, heritage and future generations. The session will reflect on memory, lineage and responsibility across time. Participants will consider how workplaces might honour continuity and intergenerational wisdom. Soul will be explored as something that emerges when past, present and future are held together.

The Agenda

In the first half of the webinar, Mishel McMahon will make his presentation and facilitate initial responses.

In the second half, we'll move into a reflection-application session:

- 'Composting': experienced peers work the material in small groups to sprout new ideas;

- 'Weaving': attendees gather to collectively reflect and question, weaving our experiences together;

- Discuss how we will apply learnings to our personal practice and living in a plenary.
