Dear Wendy
Your work sounds interesting. I was interested in the spirituality in the workplace movement during my MA work at Lancaster and recently presented a paper about it at a conference here in the UK. I read the movement as a refined result of late capitalism whereby the soul as well as the mind and body is appropriated . . .(too narrow and reductionist, I know!) but I'm focusing on other interests now for my PhD. You may find some of the references I found useful and I would be happy to send you a copy if you wish.
The conference ideas are great but sadly won't be possible for me. I'm in Finland at the moment, oddly enough, and would commend this beautiful country and Tampere to anyone thinking of that conference.
Best wishes
Abby
