A volume in Advances in Workplace Spiritualities: Theory, Research, and Application
Series Editor Louis W. (Jody) Fry, Texas A&M University - Central Texas
Are you intrigued by ancient wisdom traditions? Do you ever wonder if they have any relevance
in today's world? How do Indigenous ways of being and doing balance wealth creation and
well-being? How might Indigenous peoples define success? What are Indigenous spiritualities?
How is Spiritualities manifested in Indigenous organizations today?
These questions have intrigued us for many years. As a consequence, we invited scholars from
around the world to contribute to a ground-breaking book, Indigenous spiritualities at work:
transforming the spirit of business enterprise, to explore these questions from different worldviews.
A key focus of this book is how Indigenous spiritual approaches revitalize identities and
relationships within the workplace. However, the notion of workplace is not narrow, as it
includes communities of engagement and practice in ecologies of creativity and enterprise in the broadest sense. This enables Indigenous
spiritualties at work to be explored from diverse perspectives, disciplines, cultures and sectors. In particular, the authentic voices
of authors in this book enriches our understandings, offers points of enlightenment and amplifies spiritual traditions of Indigenous peoples
in a way that honours traditions of the past, present and future.
The contributions build bridges between scholarly work and practice. They include empirical studies of Spiritualities, mindfulness,
presence and authenticity. A diverse range of research methodologies, impact studies and examples of development programs are
offered alongside artistic works, photographic essays, stories, and poetry.
