The Five Keys to Mindful Communication

March 8–10, 2013

Arts & Creativity, Meditation & Mindfulness, Personal Transformation

Mindful communication moves us from a me-first to a we-first model of relationship, building an enlightened society one conversation at a time. This retreat introduces the Green Light communication model to explore patterns of conversation: the open, Green Light of awake body, tender heart and open mind; the closed Red Light of heartless-mind and mindless-heart; the in-between, Yellow Light in which we compassionately welcome vulnerable feelings. We evoke the power of deep listening and gentle speech as ways of touching in with the goodness of others and the clarity of our truth. The format includes sitting meditation, brief talks, Mudra Space Awareness practice and dialogue exercises.
