sending...5 Powers retreat – Burnaby, BC Nov 27-28
For a map to the event, scroll down.
THE FIVE POWERS OF MINDFUL COMMUNICATION retreat combines training in mindfulness meditation with Mudra Space Awareness and other mind-body practices derived from the traditions of contemplative arts and psychology. The Five Powers — mindful communication skills derived from ancient wisdom teachings on the five elements — transform fear-based reactions into powerful opportunities for self discovery and for opening up stuck patterns of relationship. Practicing these skills together brings resilience to our relationships and opens our capacity to accept ourselves and others as we are.
Participants will receive a certificate for 16 hours of training in mindful communication.
