Tai Chi is a slow, gentle, elegant and mindful exercise that promotes the cultivation of Chi (life force), the coordination, balance, and healing of the mind and body. The benefits of long term Tai Chi practice may include, but are not limited to the following: better balance control, cardiovascular fitness, and aid for Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, Dementia, Fibromyalgia, Diabetes, and Insomnia. Tai Chi takes a milder and more holistic approach that caters to every part of the body, instead of being monotonous and only exercising a particular part of the body.

Adults The Art & Skill of Effective Communication

Learn to Negotiate Anything

Often we communicate based on our assumptions about how another person feels or what he/she is thinking. We then take action or respond based on those assumptions that may be, but often are not, correct.

Understanding conflict styles is an essential skill in the conflict resolution process. Each one of us has a natural style preference as to how we handle conflict in a variety of situations. It is important to understand different conflict handling styles and the impact each style has on the outcome of the situation. Conflict is an opportunity to increase communication and improve relationships if handled well. Depending on the intended outcome, an appropriate style can be employed to affect the intended impact.

Through working with conflict handling preferences as measured by the Thomas Killman Conflict Mode, you will gain an understanding of how your preferred style contributes to conflict and how it can be used to facilitate its resolution.

Come prepared to participate.

Reframing Negativity

Have you ever found yourself dealing with someone in conflict who seems stuck?

Are you faced with a conflict where you can’t see your way out? Reframing is more than changing language; by using the skill of reframing you can shift the entire perception of a conflict in a way that leads to resolution. In this workshop, you will learn how to respond more effectively to difficult and “button pushing” comments that can be made in the heat of conflict.

You will gain skills to respond in a more constructive fashion wherever and whenever these comments occur. In this course, you will focus intensively on the advanced skill of reframing extreme negativity in conflict situations. Come prepared to participate.
