Deepening Mindfulness & Mindful Communicating (MVMC)

Integrate mindfulness further into your life.

Zohar Elabd

Registration

During the 6-week Training/Live Course 'Deepening Mindfulness & Mindful Communication' (MVMC) you deepen and broaden your mindfulness & meditation experience and you learn the basic principles of mindful communication.

The Live Course is a logical continuation for anyone who has been introduced to meditation (for example, who has followed an 8-week mindfulness training or who regularly meditates through 30NOW) and want to further integrate mindfulness into life.

Many mindfulness practitioners quickly feel at home on the meditation cushion, but often find it quite challenging to be mindful in contact with others. While the quality of our relationships is of course just as important to the quality of our lives as our individual meditation practice.

In addition to meditations, education and introduction to yin yoga, this Live Course provides tools to communicate mindfully and authentically and to further investigate and, where possible, improve and deepen the relationship with others and ourselves. 

During 'Deepening Mindfulness & Mindful Communicating' we start from an integral view of humanity in which our mind and moods, our body, body awareness and physiology, as well as our relationships and the way in which we relate to them are connected. This course offers practice in all these areas.

The MVMC Live Course has been rated by participants with an average grade of 8,7
