Quieting the Mind
Level 1
The mind requires our attention before it will quiet. The workshop is comprised of short presentations alternating with exercises (done solo, one-on-one, or as a group), and is presented in a step-by-step format, allowing plenty of time to take in the material.
Loving Presence
Level 1
The heart opens when we are intent on appreciation. Loving Presence teaches us how to practice this specialized method of being present that leaves both speaker and listener feeling comforted, refreshed and understood. This course empowers participants to go into the world with great curiosity, care, and positive intent.
Nourishing Communication
Level 1
From infancy through old age, we thrive on connection, created in large part by the quality and intent of our communication. This workshop is an invitation to explore and perhaps adjust our habitual ways of offering and receiving communication.
Nonverbal Awareness
Level 1
It has been found that ninety percent of emotional communication is expressed non-verbally. We express ourselves without speaking, understand others without having heard a word. This workshop will focus your awareness, kindly and patiently, on what and how we communicate without words.
