Engage and Connect: Mindfulness for Enhanced Communication
August 7, 2024
10 am-2 pm at the Center for Belonging Folk School near Decorah, IA
Communication is the lifeline of fulfilling, healthy relationships. The way to have those stronger relationships that you want, where you can be authentic and open with your friends and family. The thing that’s going to allow you to be closer to your partner and have more fun together. And the ability you want to communicate confidently, and keep your cool in triggering conversations.
But sometimes you feel unheard or misunderstood. Difficult conversations trigger you and you’re not able to think clearly. Sometimes you blank out and don’t know what to say until later, or you impulsively say something you regret. When a loved one is hurting, you wish you could offer more support but aren’t sure what to say... You’ve had misunderstandings get in the way of friendships and wish things had turned out differently.
In the Engage and Connect workshop, you’ll learn practices that will give you tools to be able to:
Support loved ones as they go through the challenges of life.
Navigate conflict with your partner in a constructive way.
Remain calm and clear during difficult conversations and find the words you want.
Enjoy closer relationships that are more fun!
This workshop is suitable for anyone looking to increase their communication skills. We’ll be exploring mindfulness practices that help us get more clarity so we can communicate clearly, practices for deep listening, and centering tools for nervous system regulation.
Workshop fee: sliding scale: $20, $29 or $39
