Is this you?
You have attended two or more courses in Mindful Compassionate Dialogue. The consciousness and skills have already helped you make significant changes in how you relate to yourself and others.
And at the same time, you notice that now you want to be able to access the skills you have practiced when you need them most, in relationships or situations that are challenging for you.
You are committed to continuing to grow and learn with these challenges and you would enjoy the support of others who have the same commitment.
Navigating interpersonal relationships in a way that is consistently fulfilling requires a subtle understanding, practical skills, and support. Join us to learn and integrate the consciousness and competencies that will support you.
What's It All About?
In this intermediate course, you will have the opportunity to choose one or more challenging relationships that you would like to transform. These relationships might include a part of yourself, a family member, a friend, community member, a coworker, or an intimate partner.
The relationship you choose to work with will provide examples for learning and practice. Our goal will not be to change the other person or how they behave with you, but rather to change the way you meet the challenges of that relationship, at the level of body, heart, mind, energy and behavior. We trust that as you develop greater skill, understanding, compassion, and authentic alignment, relationships naturally transform in unexpected ways.
Learning and practice modalities will include: feedback, role play, giving and receiving empathy, physicalizing relationship dynamics, healing interventions, mindfulness, visualizations, and appreciation.
Class sessions will work with the following:
Receiving empathy and the power of allowing grief
Recognizing and managing reactivity
Healing with tender needs
Empathy for the other in the midst of reactivity & Deep empathy
Healing responses
Making requests
Setting Life-serving boundaries
Relationship repair
What to expect?
In this eight week series, you will get to know others who share your values around transformation, compassion, self-responsibility, and the importance of caring for relationships.
You will engage in conceptual learning, group discussion, experiential learning, and skills practice. Practice exercises will be done individually, in pairs, and in small groups. You will apply examples from your own life in the exercises.
Understanding the online format
Students will be signing in to the workshop simultaneously in real time from their own locations, using Zoom. We will be able to see and hear each other. For visibility, it’s important to have a light in front of you, not behind you. The technology allows for breaking up into pairs or small groups, which the trainers can check in with just as would happen in an in-person course.
You will be able to review a recording of the workshop for a full week after it ends. Students won't be shown on the recording, but can be heard. You can participate in discussions via chat if you don’t want your voice recorded. This course may be sold later as a pre-recorded course.
You can also opt to take the series only through the recording.
Having someone in your life available to do the exercises with you is recommended for this option.
You will receive a detailed handout as a part of the workshop that you can download and keep for future reference.
