Fall 2022 Class: Compassionate Communications in times of Difficult Conversations.
Director: John Predmore, SJ
Start : September 14th 4:00 pm -5:00 pm
This Wednesday online afternoon series uses Zoom to teach us how to keep ourselves balanced in the midst of difficult conversations. We will examine what sort of information to take in, and to notice when conversations experience a power imbalance. We will negotiate and set boundaries, especially when dealing with someone else’s anger. We will review deep-breathing techniques to listen meaningfully and to develop understanding. We will learn how to use right speech to bring to sustain meaningful relationships.
The presentations will last 50 minutes, and the time will be interaction and responsive to the needs of the participants.
Register for the series, come when you can, drop out when you necessary.
We will send you a reminder with the ZOOM information in the days preceding your event. You will need to have access to the ZOOM app on your computer or smart phone. (https://zoom.us/client/latest/ZoomInstaller.exe)
