Have you ever noticed your mind wandering the whole time you are in a conversation? This can lead to misunderstandings and lack of connection. Mindful communication, on the other hand, is about engaging fully in the moment, not just focusing on responding. In this one-hour introduction, you will practice mindfulness and learn how to become a good listener to yourself and others. You’ll become familiar with the key principles of mindful communication:

• Awareness: Recognizing your and others’ thoughts and feelings so you can respond thoughtfully rather than react impulsively.
• Presence: Learning to be fully engaged in the moment and the conversation at hand without distractions.
• Empathy: Connecting with others by putting yourself in another’s shoes and creating an environment that promotes meaningful dialogue.
