Episode Synopsis

Welcome to our Winter Twelve Week Online Mindfulness Immersive: Mindful Communication!
Have you ever gotten into a discussion and found yourself too overwhelmed to make a clear point? Do you dred politically charged conversations with family, friends, or strangers? Do you find yourself at a loss for how to get your point across without offending a particular person. Would you like to be able to navigate challenging conversations with kindness and compassion, curiosity and non-judgement?
Over the twelve weeks of this online mindfulness immersion, we will take a comprehensive exploration into incorporating mindfulness, kindness, and compassion into our styles of communication, while at the same time, not losing our ability to be concise, direct, and matter of fact in our interactions. The benefits of this is a more authentic, clear, and compassionate form of communication.
Our journey begins with a three week exploration of mindfulness, kindness, and compassion. In the following three weeks we take a very deep dive into embodied speech. (Feeling our speech) Following this we will venture forth into navigating challenging conversations, and we round the course out with speaking authentically.
None of the sessions are pre-recorded. The entire course is offered live and with plenty of space for interaction with Chris and with your fellow participants.
We will be drawing primarily on the teachings of The Buddha, Nonviolent Communication, and Somatic Psychology
