Amid contentious return-to-office mandates, the nation’s top workplace mindfulness experts will gather to discuss ways to bring calm to the nation's offices.

WASHINGTON, D.C., UNITED STATES, September 5, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ -- The 8th Annual Mindful Leader Summit comes to Washington, D.C. September 29 through October 1, 2023 amid the first mass return-to-office mandates in three years. After years of remote work during the pandemic, 72% of companies are now enforcing return to office mandates. But only 6% of people want to work in an office full time. This is leading to stressful workplaces, volatile cultures and burned out employees. People are desperate for solutions and many will be offered at the 8th Annual Mindful Leader Summit, one of the country’s top meetings on mindfulness in the workplace.

“This isn’t your normal conference experience. Hundreds of leaders come together to activate and advance innovative ways to bring more calm and connection back to their workplaces. We do this by learning to be more mindful ourselves through morning yoga, keynotes, talks, case studies, practice sessions, embodiment, connection, networking opportunities and more,” explains Mo Edjlali, the founder of Mindful Leader and this Summit.

More than 3,700 people from 34+ countries have attended this Summit in the past. This year sessions will involve using music, movement, mindfulness and more to lead under pressure, bring compassion into the workplace and transform toxic workplaces.

Dr. Judson Brewer MD Ph.D., Director of Research and Innovation at Brown University's Mindfulness Center. His pioneering work in mindfulness-based addiction treatments, showcased on platforms like 60 Minutes, TED, and Time magazine, and funded by organizations such as the National Institutes of Health, has revolutionized the field.
