Mindful Communication & Nonviolence In Dialogue
Tuesdays April 19 & 26

Cost: $50-$75 sliding scale, scholarships upon request
Join Piero Falci for a 2-part, experiential workshop where we will explore the elements of mindful communication as a nonviolence practice. In a participatory setting, you will learn to bring more awareness to your conversations with attentive listening and thoughtful speaking. Take your nonviolence practice to the next level through focusing on how you use words, speech, and dialogue with friends, family, neighbors, and coworkers. Communication is a rich and complex activity. Most people can speak and listen, but not everyone is capable of communicating skillfully.
Good, clear, efficient communication is the most fundamental element for preserving and improving relationships. Unskilled communications, on the other hand, create tensions that may become difficult to dissipate. Healthy relationships are fundamentally important for our health, and communication has a huge impact on our relationships. This special, 2-part workshop is presented as part of Pace e Bene's mission to provide nonviolence training for nonviolence toward self, toward all others through nonviolent thought, word, and deed; and toward the world.
