Training Context & Overview

Our spiritual growth is deeply impacted by how we communicate. Traditional methods of communication can block our potential for "walking our talk" —i.e., living out our ethics in our intimate and professional relationships, as well as in community. You can learn how to have internal dialogues that balance self-acceptance with self-examination. You can gain skills for expressing your beliefs passionately, without judgment, honoring each person’s humanity. More . . .
