Why healing communication? Because there is nowhere that our communication style doesn’t touch. To communicate honestly, empathetically and effectively, we must deeply know our Self. We will use mindfulness and presence practices to get clear about what we feel and what we need. To do this, we must touch into spaces of deep vulnerability and wisdom. Within that space, we are given the opportunity to courageously share our true selves, to learn to speak from that truth and listen with the same depth and care to the people around us. These practices of internal and external awareness, partnered up with practical tools around communication, offer the opportunity to improve relationships and outcomes in all facets of our lives.
Healing Communication is a 4-week virtual workshop series offered by Angel Price that will meet Live in Zoom on Tuesdays from 6:30-8pm CST, September 7-28th. This four week special series is built around honing our ability to connect to our needs, our requests, and the people we care about through a practice of direct communication and mindfulness.
We’ll work with principles from needs based communication (based on NVC) and mindfulness practices to improve our ability to communicate with kind insightful directness.
Each session will consist of lecture, sharing, and active practice. Homework will include variations of reading, meditations, journaling and practices to try out that week.
Angel will send reflections to participants to consider prior to each session.
Live attendance will be very beneficial and is strongly encouraged as a portion of each class will be devoted to role playing and Q&A. It is a new way of understanding and patterning ourselves to reflect and speak from a deeper intention and with new language.
