Workshops

Interacting well in difficult situations is a skill.

Skills can be learned and practiced.

Come learn and practice.

Is it scary? Of course. That’s not the question.

The question is: is it worth it?

Is it worth it?

…to know what to do when the person across from you is in a terrible situation?

…to truly understand that you can’t fix it (even if you desperately want to)?

…to learn what you can do that is helpful? (We have more power than we give ourselves credit for.)

…to gain these skills and more in just a few hours?

Thank you so much for this experience Heat! It’s a powerful model and you facilitated this beautifully.

Whenever someone creates the opportunity to listen deeply and be listened to by others, it’s a gift. Thank you.

It is possible to talk about difficult topics like disease and death. I learned the skills I will use.

Listening to understand what is crucial to meaningful communication. Heat’s workshop created an inviting space for me to learn and practice doing just that.
