Core skills - listening, understanding and responding » Mindfulness Training Institute

Core skills: listening, understanding and responding

Live online | four single days | fortnightly

Fee for Alumni $795 inc GST

Some core skills are required to skilfully meet people where they are at in MBP courses. This training will clarify our own ways of making sense of other people’s experience, and assist us to truly listen to their inner and outer world, so we can respond in a salient way in the moment.

The core skills we will explore are:

Presence – meeting the moment with all the senses
Attunement – with gesture, sounds, timing
Listening – for affect, meaning and agency
Understanding – making sense of another person’s soma, words and story
Responding – what do I say now?
Inquiring – where should I direct the person’s attention?

The course will be strongly experiential - drawing on teacher demonstrations and student practice sessions.
