HEALING
CONVERSATIONS TRAININGHealing Conversations
Healing Conversations is a Training Program for health care professionals, social workers, counselors, teachers, caregivers, and people anywhere who want to engage in conversations that promote inner healing, and peace.
This program is designed to help people learn how to prepare their own mind and heart to create the conditions out of which healing conversations grow. In addition, the training provides opportunities to learn and practice the skills that generate the natural healing power that comes from openhearted conversation.
Compassionate relationship is the foundation of Healing Conversations. This type of relationship can be created in a few moments or nurtured over years. Genuine care and kindness is healing, no matter what the context in which it occurs or history of the people involved.
A compassionate relationship begins with the relationship we have with ourselves. When we purposefully replenish our own lives with grace, goodness and beauty, we create the ground for healing which springs forth and spills into the lives of others. Healing Conversations training begins with this kind of preparation. Feeling whole, supported and uplifted are prerequisites for compassionate living. We teach how to integrate this kind of care into a daily routine and give many examples and opportunities to practice various forms of personal and spiritual nurture.
As the inner space is prepared, we begin to focus on the relationships outside of us. The training includes reflection about the power of healing in our thoughts and attitudes as well as in the words we speak. We teach and practice the skills of Healing Conversations not as something we do for others but as something that uplifts the whole of creation and brings about healing wherever we are.
This program does not add to the already long list of things for people to do in their work. It provides a way to do their work with greater ease, less stress, and more peace. This training facilitates both the healing and well being of the participants as well as those with whom they work and serve.
