A PORT IN THE STORM – Introduction to Relational Mindfulness
Change and uncertainty is stressful and can impair your clarity, performance and resilience over time. It’s essential for busy people to find a port in the storm, so you can rest and regroup, and chart your way forward while standing in a place of calm and presence.
Re-enter life with greater calm and perspective
In this 3 session course, you will experience how to create a port in the storm for yourself with your peers. You will learn how to relax into deep listening and feel a calm, open, reflective internal state. Through mindful dialogue and self-awareness practices, you will tap into the deeper stability, presence and intelligence that supports more conscious leadership. Relational mindfulness skills are transferable to your daily life, opening a door to more calm, connectivity, and creativity at work.
