Graduate Program
The Pause: A Course in Mindful Communication
Course Description
Guided by Gregory Kramer's practice of Insight Dialogue this six-week course will guide participants in a process of communicating from a deep meditative state. From this place of awake stillness, we can set aside old and often painful habits of being and relating so that we may connect with others in a new, gentler way. In each class instructors, Selma Nemer and Caroline Russell Smith, will guide participants through a period of silent meditation, gentle movement, and interpersonal practice. Since so much of our stress has to do with other people, mindful communication possesses tremendous possibilities for insight, compassion and peace.
Pre-Requisites
This class is open to all graduates of The Saratoga Stress Reduction Program as well as graduates of other mindfulness-based stress reduction programs. Meditation practitioners from other traditions with a dedicated practice are also welcome to join us.
Cost
The cost for the course is $300.
