The MSR Retreat is a unique opportunity for reflection, learning, and community building, specifically designed for MSR members and guests. The MSR Retreat is co-created and pluralistic. The intention is to explore practices from a variety of sacred, spiritual and psychological traditions based on the interests of participants and, to have deep inquiry and dialogue around topics of human flourishing and blobal consciousness that illuminate the spiritual and religious dimensions of life in management research, teaching, and practice.

This year, the Covid-19 pandemic has created the opportunity for MSR to host a Global Community Retreat. We hope that this format will enable greater access to this unique opportunity, and in order to keep the intimate feel of the MSR Retreat intact, we are limiting registrations to 100 people.

We will kick off the Retreat with a MSR Retreat Community Plenary for the entire group. This will be followed by two days of breakout sessions scheduled every few hours. These sessions will run over the entire 24 hrs in order to accommodate participants in the different time zones. In addition, the 2020 MSR Retreat will include:

Our tradition is to invite retreat participants to contribute to the program’s experiential sessions. This year, each session will span 30 to 45 minutes in which a participant facilitates a workshop experience or discussion on their teaching and/or sacred-tradition practice(s) (i.e. yoga, meditation, classroom activity, dialogue facilitation, music and the arts, etc.)
