More About Pricing
Pay-It-Forward: This is an opportunity to support those less fortunate, making programs accessible to those that cannot pay the standard rate. Paying at this level is an act of generosity.
Standard Rate: The standard rate covers the costs of these programs, making it possible for MHI to continue to offer them.
Scholarship Rate: This rate is available for those who cannot afford to pay the standard rate. We ask you to use this rate only if paying the higher rate creates a hardship for yourself and/or your family.
Our lives are webs of social relationships and communication. In all relationships, we find joys and tensions, the wish for things to be different, appreciation, longing, and stress. Often, we engage out of habit, being pulled by likes and dislikes, assumptions and judgments. Developing interpersonal mindfulness leads to being more fully present and caring with others and oneself.
The heart and mind relax with the recognition of this shared human experience. We will explore the roots of interpersonal stress and the possibilities for release and transformation. This class is based upon the practice of Insight Dialogue.
This 8 week class is an opportunity to experience how mindfulness can deepen our understanding of ourselves, others, create attunement, and enhance our relationships. Through guided meditations, talks, participatory exercises, and small group discussions we will experience the power of mutually established mindfulness and explore integrating the relational aspects of mindfulness and wisdom into our daily lives. These practices lead to greater clarity about the nature of suffering and its release. The wholesome impact on relationships is immediate and lasting.
