!“This article really got me thinking…

!As I get deeper into my meditation practice and have taken up ballet as a form of exercise the body has been on my mind (pun intended).

!It also reminded me of my English teaching days and thinking about

how Japanese schools did a much better job of giving elementary school kids time to move. I definitely want to bring the body more

into my work and have been wondering how to do so.

Kris Hartley, author of Can Government Think? !

!“Lee-Sean’s contemplative, well researched piece is a manifesto for office workers caged in both body and spirit.

!Weaving quotes from rare literary gems with firsthand interviews, he

makes a convincing case for the integration of kinesthetics in the workplace as an antidote to both physical stress and intellectual torpor.

!A must read for anybody with a 9–5 job and a stiff neck.

Critical Inquiry

We are artists, activists and entrepreneurs facing, like you, common global problems,

from mass consumption and digital overload, to inequality amidst rapid urbanisation.

!

Here, we slow down and reflect on the ancient wisdom traditions - those of the

shamans, monks, and long-forgotten mystics- and apply them to modern times.
