MASS AWIS’ mission is to support women in STEM and create opportunities for their professional development.


We possess everything we need to be the unique leader that each of us can be. However, in different times and circumstances, we may feel blocked/challenged and unable to bring our vision and inspiration forward. In this short workshop, we will experience a form of meditation which is aligned with how leaders work in the world. Leaders aspire to lead with their eyes open and with their awareness extended. This behavior cultivates the best outcome. While there are many definitions of leadership, in the end it is up to you to find your solution to the situation by listening to your truth and having the certainty to know what is right – a balance of inner clarity and outer confidence. The meditation practice presented here will address how to recognize and harness distraction, how to be simple and open to possibilities, and how to take action that brings beneficial results.
