Meditation and Mindfulness

We argue that a denatured mindfulness divorced from

its soteriological context reduces it to a self-help technique that is easily misappropriated for reproducing corporate and

institutional power, employee pacification, and maintenance of toxic organizational cultures.

Contemplative dyads, in particular, represent a deep interpersonal meditative practice carried out in pairs with a witness who engages in active listening while the other person reflects on a question or topic.
