WriteMind Institute for Corporate Contemplation

“Try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books written in a foreign language. Do not now look for the answers.  At present you need to live the question.” —Rainer Maria Rilke

WriteMind Institute for Corporate Contemplation is a center for creating the conditions for authentic cultural transformation in organizations. We offer a selection of programs to facilitate leadership journeys, empower authentic speech, and establish the workplace as a refuge. Based in Asheville, North Carolina, WriteMind uses the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains and the vibrant downtown culture to offer clients an opportunity to contemplate their inner personal nature and that of their organizations for the purpose of generating the leadership questions and the deliberate actions that breed long-term measurable success.
