Make-Up Part 5 of the Mindfulness Series

Description: Mindfulness is the practice of being present to one’s experience with loving attention, which studies have shown helps reduce stress and promotes wellbeing. In this class students will learn and experience the central teachings of mindful and compassionate communication, how to be truly present in conversation and be aware of the impact of our words, our patterns of communication and how to build connection rather than separation with our speech.
