Relational Mindfulness for more conscious and transformational Climate Coaching
As coaches, our way of being directly influences the depth of insight and wisdom we and our clients can access. Relational Mindfulness (RM) for coaches is a pioneering approach which enhances presence, awareness, wisdom, connection, compassion and courageous collaboration.
Join us for a 90-minute experiential introduction to Relational Mindfulness for coaches, hosted by the CCA Compassion Community of Practice, as part of the Connection Celebration Seasonal Heartbeat. We will explore ways to ground ourselves in the body, attune deeply in relationship, including with Mother Nature, of whom we are part, and foster the kind of human-to-human connection where understanding, insight, and transformation can naturally arise.
As we will be engaging in guided individual mindfulness practice and mindful dialogue, it will be helpful to be somewhere you are unlikely to be disturbed, and to be able to keep your camera on.
