Mindfulness Through Active Listening

There is something magical that can happen when we listen to another person with our full attention, curiosity, empathy, and an open heart and mind. In this course, we will explore the act of listening as a type of mindfulness practice, where we remain grounded in the present moment, and our attention is focused on hearing and understanding what the other person is telling us. Students will learn how to convey that they are listening and understanding, such as through asking questions and reflecting. Finally, students will have the chance to engage in listening exercises and discover how active listening can deepen and strengthen relationships, as well as be helpful during challenging conversations and interactions.
