Workshop Description
Beginning with the engaging story of what it took to create a constructive and sustainable relationship between a university, government agencies, and First Nations groups, this highly interactive workshop will explore the personal, cultural, and social narratives that form participants’ identities. Participants will be introduced to mindfulness practices and apply them to communication. Mindfulness is then directed to discovering the crucial questions that generate respect across differences. Instructions are given for participants to reflect individually, work in pairs, listen without judgement, and inquire without comparison to their own responses. Mindfulness in dialogue is then carried to the whole group contributing their experiences and insights. Participants discover multiple perspectives and innovative approaches as new meaning emerges from the group.
