Scenario

When workplace mindfulness groups become performative rather than authentic

Six of us started a mindfulness group at work after several people had burnout episodes, but now it feels like we're just performing wellness for each other instead of actually dealing with our stress. We sit in the conference room twice a week and do breathing exercises but nobody talks about the fact that management expects us to be 'more resilient' now.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The group is caught between genuine healing needs and institutional expectations, creating a space that serves neither.
