The Five Keys to Mindful Communication August 16, 2012

Skillful communication is easy to talk about, but challenging to achieve. The Five Keys to Mindful Communication transform fear-based reactions into powerful opportunities for self discovery. During this evening event Susan Chapman will give a talk and sign copies of her book. The talk will be followed by a wine and cheese reception. Workshop: Saturday and Sunday Aug 18 & 19 9-5 Only $180.
