(The course will be in English).
Kindful Communication is the language of connection. It’s a learnable, practical way to bring empathy, honesty, strength and compassion into our personal and professional relationships. It can help build bridges of connection to individuals, couples, families, teams, organisations and communities.
Kindfulness a combination of mindfulness and kindness is the basis of the work we will experiment on ourselves during the workshop with many short sessions of mindfulness meditation. Our days are filled with communication even if we only talk to ourselves. Given that all people really want is to understand and to be understood communication is a vital skill to learn and practice. In this 2 day workshop we focus on ourselves the one side of the communication process that we can change.
