This symposium explores the transformative potential of mindfulness practices in fostering individual, organizational, and systemic well-being amidst the global polycrisis. Panelists will examine how mindfulness, rooted in traditions and interdisciplinary research, cultivates self-transcendence, relationality, and eco-social awareness, enabling performance excellence and sustainable systemic change. By integrating diverse perspectives, including Buddhist and Hindu philosophies, quantum insights, and contemporary organizational research, this session highlights mindfulness as a practical pathway to moral self-leadership, collaborative innovation, and ecological and social flourishing. Attendees will gain actionable insights into mindfulness-driven strategies for personal growth and collective impact in advancing equitable and sustainable futures.
