SUMMARY:Compassionate Relating with Kath Mitchell and Mark Schrader
DESCRIPTION:Compassionate Relating: The Power of Compassionate Communication with Kath Mitchell and Mark Schrader\nWe are always in relationship, we are constantly communicating both verbally and non-verbally with friends, partners, whanau, colleagues, shop assistants, pets and other creatures, earth, food, breath, sleep, our minds… everything. Our question is: How can we be with all this and keep a sense of well-being?\nThis course is for anyone interested in developing wise and compassionate communication. We will explore compassionate relating, and wholesome connecting–with ourselves, and with others. In relationship, is it possible to continuously meet life with kindness? This is a question we will delve into and explore deeply.\nAs a group we will share and explore interpersonal skills to help us expand our friendly connections. Alongside this, we will bring our intrapersonal environment into focus, to deepen our presence and relationship with ourselves.\nThere will be periods of silence and individual reflective time to allow you to connect more fully with your own inner wisdom. There will be creative opportunities to engage with the themes of the course.\nTogether we will study and practice the beautiful Sadhana of “Chenreizig”, the Bodhisattva of Compassion. This is a rich meditation that supports our experience of inter-connectedness with all of life.\nOur shared search is set in the awesome beauty of the Wangapeka Study and Retreat Centre (https://wangapeka.org ( https://wangapeka.org/ )).  The facilitators, Mark Schrader and Kath Mitchell, are experienced teachers who bring enthusiasm, humour, creativity and care to the group.\nFor more information or to register please contact Kath Mitchell mitchell.kath@gmail.com ( mailto:mitchell.kath@gmail.com )\nThere is the option of attending the first weekend only—please inquire.\nCourse fee – (this includes food, accommodation and a resource fee)\n$310 Plus Dana. Non-members\n$278 Plus Dana. Members\nThe Teachings are offered freely. You are invited to offer the facilitators Kōha/Dana.\n\nAbout Mark Schrader and Kath Mitchell\nMark has appreciated co-facilitating past Wangapeka Community Courses and more recently the Young Adults’ Retreat at the Wangapeka Study and Retreat Centre.
