Interpersonal Mindfulness

Speaking and listening are two of the most common activities of daily life, and often the most habitual and automatic. We recognize the power of speech to enrich or diminish our personal integrity, and to promote either harmony or discord in our relationships and in the world. In this workshop we will explore how mindfulness of intention, body sensation, thought and emotion can help us speak and listen in skillful ways that promote inner peace and healthy relationships. This workshop will include lecture, discussion, silent meditation and interpersonal dialogue to practice bringing greater mindfulness and compassion to interpersonal interaction. Everyone welcome.

Some experience with meditation practice is helpful but not required.
