Awakening Mindfulness at Work: An Invitation to Begin

In this opening episode, mindfulness teachers and friends Pierre Khawand and Sarah Killeen introduce Awakening Mindfulness at Work — a space for meaningful conversations about mindfulness, presence, and compassion in our professional and everyday lives.

They share what inspired this podcast, how their journeys through teaching, retreats, and continued learning have shaped their approach, and what makes this series unique: genuine, unscripted dialogue where fresh insights and surprises unfold naturally.

Each week, Pierre and Sarah explore real-world questions such as:

• How can we meet workplace challenges with more ease?
• How can we stay calm in difficult situations and bring more joy and presence to our day?
• How can mindfulness help us navigate relationships, technology, and change with awareness and care?

Episodes are short, thoughtful, and practical — with one special live “Real Time” session each month where listeners are invited to join the conversation, ask questions, and practice together.

Welcome to a new way of being at work — and in life.
