Have you ever noticed that even when your formal practice is going well you can hit the skids when it’s time to communicate with others? Developing an interpersonal mindfulness practice helps us be more fully present with others and oneself.

As we move between interacting virtually and negotiating being in person again – whether with friends, family or co-workers – can practice help us cultivate the skills that can support us in staying present within challenging conversations?

The program was designed for graduates of MBSR programs but is suitable for anyone with a mindfulness practice who has experience or is willing to experience stepping out of silent practice and applying mindfulness in human interaction.

Prerequisite: A Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) class or prior meditation experience that includes some relational practice – i.e. a willingness to bring mindfulness out of silent formal practice into shared investigation of the human experience.
