Mindful Relationships:

Personal and Professional Relationships That Work

Mindfulness in relationships orients us towards joy and wisdom

Mindfulness offers us a way to see that which is going on around and within us more clearly. Being mindful allows us to create the emotional and mental space that supports us to nurture rich, heartfelt and joyful relationships. Being 'mindful' does not necessarily stop the daily dramas of life unfolding, but it does give us a different way to relate to the unexpected or unpleasant as they arise. Just as we become more mindful and relate differently within ourselves, so too we can cultivate new ways of relating to others when they behave in ways that we find unexpected or unpleasant. And as we relate differently to these dynamics, we open a whole vista of new options for those relationships.

Relationship friction is cited as one of the greatest sources of stress and emotional suffering. Everyone benefits from good relationships, and many people have put time, thought, and effort into creating them. Common to all relationships are five underlying principles, and understanding these will allow you to draw the best out of all your relationships.

• Business relationships
• Couple relationships
• Family relationships
• Friend relationships
• Relationship with oneself

Five key principles for creating valuable relationships

This 1 Day workshop will cover:

• Reality and illusion - how to gain a realistic perspective of others
• See the three ways discomfort is generated in your relationships and what you can do about it
• Getting off the merry-go-round - breaking unhelpful cycles and cultivating richer relationships
• Personality styles - how to get the most out of difference
• Love - balance self-care and generosity

"The information, exercises and short mindfulness meditation gave me inspiring insights, which I use every day in all my relationships"

This is a practical, stand alone course to help you understand your relationship dynamics in order to cultivate a greater sense of happiness, compassion and joy. It is suitable for both the complete beginner and well practised meditators who will enjoy the cognitive maps and new ways of looking at relationship dynamics. The day includes teaching, interactive exercises and discussions, and some short meditations.
