The Power of Peacemaking
with Greg Heffron Fri February 15th: 7:00 PM - 9:00 PMSat February 16th: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Price: $95 Non-MemberBased on the material in Acharya Susan Chapman's "The Five Keys to Mindful Communication," THE POWER OF PEACEMAKING will explore the four ways that aggressive speech escalates into conflict: 1) criticism/complaint, 2) divisiveness, 3) blame and 4) retaliation. Using the powers of mindful conversation we can interrupt our own ‘red light’ patterns at each step to bring greater openness and gentleness to our relationships and communities. The workshop will include short talks, small group dialogues, Mudra Space Awareness exercises and mindfulness meditation to help us rediscover our authentic heart in the midst of challenging and painful communication.

The program schedule is:
Friday evening 7-9pm
Saturday 9am-5pm
