Communication sits at the heart of our lives – personally, professionally, and spiritually. This six-week online program offers training in the foundations of an integrated approach to communication.

Drawing upon the Buddha’s teachings on the Noble Eightfold Path, mindfulness, and Right Speech, plus the modern disciplines of Nonviolent Communication and trauma healing, the curriculum offers concrete tools to hold one’s own while still hearing others and to engage effectively and efficiently in collaboration. You will learn to:

  • Engage in effective dialogue
  • Feel more confident in conversation
  • Strengthen your capacities for empathy and resilience
  • Identify and stay focused on what really matters in any interaction
  •  
    Through a combination of mindfulness practices, guided reflections, and interactive exercises, you will develop a stronger sense of presence, greater access to compassion, and more versatile, clearer communication. This program is appropriate for both experienced and newer students, therapists, school teachers, chaplains, and other helping professionals.
