This workshop was challenging, yet good and necessary. Exploring a few lived experiences in greater depth help and to identify elements that are desirable and effective in communication as well as areas that contribute to difficulties. Knowing this, in turn, is a good guide to navigate future moments of communication, how to use my gifts more and to be mindful of what needs more awakening. I’m encouraged to live my Being more in my communication.
