Communication is Natural

mindfulness connects us with our inner guidance

Responsive

Natural communication connects us to situations as they evolve in real time. This allows us to adapt as the conversation shifts.

We-Together

Genuine communication is not about one person or another. It's about the verbal 'dance' we do together in the present moment.

Resilient

When we feel lost, Mindful Communication training allows us to regain our connection with ourselves and others.

All communication is a conversation. Our unique mindfulness-based training approach brings out our innate human capacities — allowing us to be clear, compassionate, genuine and effective. Our courses and retreats are based on The Five Keys to Mindful Communication by author and mindfulness teacher Susan Gillis Chapman and the work of mindfulness teacher and Executive Director Greg Heffron.

Our Programs

Click for a unique guided meditation on our “Natural Communication System”

Green Zone Institute programs utilize mindfulness meditation and the techniques of Contemplative Psychology and the Contemplative Arts. Mindful Communication goes beyond communication skill building. While learning new skills is important, if we don’t identify and relate to the emotional states we inhabit during challenging communication, following “correct” rules or patterns will still produce harmful and ineffective results. In contrast, if we learn to recognize and take advantage of our natural open state of mind (‘The Green Light’), communication can be genuine, fresh and lively. This allows for creative and unexpected solutions with connection and precision, honesty and care.
