Is this you?
You want to be able to stay present through challenges, both in your closest relationships and in our local and global community. You are ready to learn specific and concrete skills to help you stay grounded and maintain resilience, and consistently create conditions for thriving.
What is it all about?
A thriving and resilient life is an intentional life. Thriving means that you are able to be present with the needs of others and your own, and find flexible and creative strategies to care for them. Resilience rests on the capacity to access internal and external resources that allow you to maintain your center or quickly come back to center in the face of adversity.
When you care for thriving and resilience, you can meet life’s challenges without being swept up in a roller coaster of reactivity.
Cultivating thriving and resilience means knowing the difference between what’s actually happening and your interpretations of it. It means learning to maintain equanimity through the ups and downs of life. It is the ability to process intense experiences with confidence. It includes effective self-care, gratitude practice, finding meaning, building community, and more.
About Mindful Compassionate Dialogue
Mindful Compassionate Dialogue (MCD) naturally supports you in creating the relationships you want by integrating the wisdom and skills of three powerful modalities: Hakomi, Nonviolent Communication (NVC), and mindfulness.
Each modality contributes something unique to the process. Hakomi offers clarity about reactivity and healing. NVC provides a method for achieving self-responsibility, skillful communication, and agency. And mindfulness adds the stable attention and clear focus needed to continuously refine your understanding and skills.
MCD is a system meant to provide access to agency, compassion, mindfulness, and wisdom. Personal transformation is achieved through practice with the 12 Relationship Competencies and 9 Foundations, which arise from a central, life-serving intention.
