Re:Meditation Space At Work - 2006/04/21 21:11
I used to work at a place that had "quiet" rooms on every floor, with a couch-like bench, a desk, a desk lamp, and lots pillows and a comfy blanket. People would use it not only for prayer or meditation, but also for private phoning (we had an open office arrangement) or for sensitive meetings. Or even to just kick back with a friend, as long as no one else wanted to use it. I even brought my entire staff in there once for a meeting, which made for a cozy conversation!
Anyway, I always found it very helpful to know it was there for me when I needed it. And I definitely used it to pray when things got rough.
I liked that it was a small enough room that one person could use it and not feel like they were hogging the space. but it was also big enough for small meetings.
What I've never liked is open rooms with kiosks or something where several people might be thinking or praying or whatever. That's just weird.
So I'd recommend having many small rooms spaced throughout a company rather than one big room that people had to walk too far to get to.
