How can we bring a more grounded and mindful version of ourselves to friends, work colleagues, and family members? This class will provide training in practices aimed at setting clear intentions, learning to pause in conversation, and listening deeply for feelings and needs. Through experiential exercises, we’ll learn to question our thoughts and to see more clearly, to turn towards rather than away from relational pain and challenges, to be more transparent in how we communicate, and to engage in more compassionate action.
