Is this you?

You want better communication skills and more fulfilling relationships. You want to create more connection in your personal relationships and have the confidence that you can handle conflict. You want to bring relationship skills to the people you care for that embody your values.

You are dedicated to living an authentic life with compassion for yourself and others. You understand that creating healthy relationships and relating to yourself and others from authenticity and compassion requires mindfulness and practical skills.

You are ready and willing to practice mindfulness and concrete skills in a safe environment that includes vulnerability and self-reflection.

For the Individual:

• You want to be masterful in your understanding of how relationships work and masterful in communication.

• You want to be a contribution and inspiration to others.

• You speak to yourself in harsh ways… “What’s wrong with me?” “I’m such an idiot.” “I should have known better.” “I’m a failure." "I’m too reactive.”

• You’re exhausted from self-criticism and ready to transform your internal dialogue.

• You see the impact you have on others. You know there is a way to find compassion for yourself, hear others, and express yourself clearly.

• You are ready for tools to manage reactivity and find an honest and compassionate way through challenging interactions.

For the Couple:

• You are committed to honest and respectful communication.

• You want to build a strong foundation for a lasting relationship.

• You want to be able to meet reactivity and hardship with the compassion and skills that allow you to stay true to yourself and connected in your relationship.

• You know that the depth of trust and safety in your relationship increases each time you bring mindfulness and skills to difficult interactions.

• Your relationship too often seems like a courtroom in which you are each trying to prove your case. You stalemate and nothing moves. You dig in. You tighten. You want to be right. You either get angry and say hurtful things or you disappear and shut down.

• You need new tools to express honestly while staying in a heart connection.

We all want to feel connected to the ones we love and care for, be deeply seen and heard for the experiences we’re having and for the values we hold dear as well as to communicate and relate with others in a way that creates understanding, meaningful contribution and ease.

Instead, so many of us feel frustrated and overwhelmed as we experience painful cycles of misunderstanding, arguments, defensiveness, criticism, blame and disconnection.

This is not your fault. You simply have not been taught the skills to do so.

about mindful compassionate dialogue

Mindful Compassionate Dialogue (MCD) empowers you to create compassionate, skillful and thriving relationships with yourself and others.

MCD is a comprehensive system and map that describes the process and skills necessary for cultivating thriving relationships with yourself and others. It is a system meant to provide access to agency, compassion, mindfulness (mindful engagement) and wisdom (wise discernment). Personal transformation is achieved through practice with the 12 Relationship Competencies and 9 Foundations of Selfhood, which arise from a central, life-serving intention.

It naturally supports you in creating the relationships you want by integrating the wisdom and skills of three powerful modalities: Hakomi (body-centred therapy and psychotherapy), Nonviolent Communication (NVC), and Mindfulness (various mindfulness practices that adds the stable attention and clear focus needed to continuously refine your understanding and skills).

Each modality contributes something unique to the process. The result is relational competencies, communication skills and emotional capacity that empowers you to create compassionate, skilful and thriving relationships with yourself and others.

The course runs over four weeks, one two-hour class per week.

You will be provided with a course book containing all the material and exercises, perfect for you to review and work through during and after the course.
