Join the course to support your wellbeing. Specifically, together we will:

  • Navigate stresses and systemic struggles in a supporting learning environment.

  • Increase awareness and caring for yourself (self care);

  • Cultivate spaciousness & freedom;

  • Recover from or prevent burnout

  • Improve wellbeing (personal & professional). An overarching focus on supporting wellbeing.

Learners will be introduced to concepts, techniques of meditation and, also the opportunity to practice meditation on a daily basis. Interwoven with meditation will be understanding the importance of self-caring, loving-kindness, compassion and body based awareness.

Connect the me (my practice, my relationship with self- intra) and the we (my interaction with others – inter). Deepen considerations and practice in the realm of awareness- based self care, self compassion & build compassion for others, empathy, and loving kindness. 

Experience a practical, experiential, and theoretical introduction to listening-centered mindful communication, cultivating presence in communicative interactions while also learning to navigate difficult conversations to enhance wellbeing.
