LMBB 1031 - Authentic Connection

  • NonCredit
View available sections

Our closest relationships can often cause us the most difficulty. In this module, we will explore the habits and behaviors that maintain our separation from others and examine how mindful attunement, empathy, and presence can bring about authentic connection. We will experiment with three levels of listening that are part of mindful communication and practice a range of approaches to bring mindfulness into our parenting, homes, and relationships.
Topics include:
• The Gift of Presence
• Self- compassion
