 Participants will learn and practice skills that enhance the ability to:

•   listen with greater self-awareness;

•   maintain an open and grounded presence;

•  more readily access compassion for both self and other;

•  track and self-regulate one’s own reactivity when it occurs.

•  listen with less judgment and more curiosity about another’s experience, including when it is different from one’s culture or world view.
