Transform your communication

Integrating mindfulness with Nonviolent Communication, this course helps us foster kinder, more effective conversations in our relationships and lives.

In this audio program, you’ll establish a foundation of mindfulness to help you to stay centered and curious even when emotions are running high. From there, you’ll learn practices for identifying your needs and the needs of others, changing habitual patterns of conflict, de-escalating arguments, promoting empathy and collaboration, and much more.

In the eight sessions with Oren, you’ll learn:

  • Foundational mindfulness practices to help you stay centered, and curious

  • The value of empathy and the healing potential of deep listening

  • Ways to bring wisdom to core limiting beliefs and patterns of conflict

  • How to find your voice and speak the truth with love
