Spirituality at Work

Is there room for your heart and soul at work? I believe there is, and more and more people I talk with agree. that there is. What's the alternative; leaving your heart and spirit at the door? I think not. Here is a resource that can help you think about the connection between your spiritual growth--in a non-secular fashion by the way--and your work.

Spirituality at Work is an organization of business professionals committed to:

- the awakening of soul at work

- the transformation of work and the workplace into arenas where life is nourished.

For many years, American workers have lacked a connection between the values of private life and the values of work and the workplace. Community, contribution, and cooperation my be important values at home, but in the workplace, rewards accrue from independence, competition, and acquisition. Work provides a livelihood, but at the same time is life-draining for many because it asks us to leave much of ourselves at the door when we come to work. People yearn for greater wholeness and integration of the "at-work selves" and their "at-home selves".

Spirituality at Work is a response to these concerns. We attempt to bring life and livelihood back together again. Our efforts are aimed at individuals who are looking for ways to align their work and personal lives.

Spirituality at Work creates conversations…

- in which participants make connections between what they do, who they are, and what they most value;

- and in which they are empowered and equipped as agents of reconciliation and transformation within their own organizations and workplace communities.
