Mindfulness is “paying attention, on purpose, in the present moment, non-judgmentally.” - Jon Kabat-Zinn, PhD

Mindful communication shines awareness on our intentions in communication. We learn how to be intentional, stay present, observe our thoughts, and manage our feelings while listening and being heard - true communication. In this experiential workshop, you'll enjoy how mindful communication can help us be more at home in our own skin, as well as be curious and communicate with intention both at home and in the workplace. No prior meditation or mindfulness experience is necessary.
