Meditation activity

The word meditation may conjure the image of someone sitting cross-legged, repeatedly chanting “om.” Although such forms of meditation might provoke a relaxed state appropriate for learning or lead to mystical insights—that is not what I have in mind by a meditation activity.

This activity was designed to further the contemplative mood necessary to work as a team to discover a common vision. The main activity on this page presented different styles of music and challenged participants to pick one that reflected their vision. This activity provoked lively discussion as learners asked each other, “Why do you feel that way?”

Rounding out the meditation were quotations from sources sacred and common—again reinforcing the point that an organization’s vision connects it to the surrounding world rather than isolating it.
