The course

We are proud to announce the fourth year of our Advanced Certification in Mindful Communication. This unique online experience allows those with a basic background to go deep into these important teachings.

This course aims to train “Green Zone Leaders” to take Susan Gillis Chapman’s models out into a world which is very much in need of a ‘social safety net’ — the web of connection we create by training to attune to the ‘Green Light’ of innate openness, clarity and sensitivity. In this course, Green Zone Institute Director and Senior Teacher Greg Heffron will train a close cohort of participants to develop the skills to facilitate others as well as uncovering genuine transformative insight within their own experience.

As anyone knows who might consider this course, the aim of Mindful Communication is an approach to our world which accepts all experiences —pleasurable or painful, surprising or soothing — as a chance to reconnect with our fundamentally trustworthy human nature.

We live in a world which needs ‘radically kind’ approaches to human connection, and this course gives you an opportunity to be part of this revolutionary community of Leaders & Teachers. With a skillset that makes its way into your Body, Heart and Mind, this course will develop participants to become “change agents” in any moment — from the personal, to the communal, to the political.

What are past graduates saying?

“It sounds unbelievable, but I got more from the Advanced Certification course than I did from my Masters program in Counseling. And that cost me $100,000.”

“I can highly recommend this course. 8 months seem to be a long time to commit for, but time passed quickly and there is a lot of interesting material to deepen ones understanding. Due to the meetings on a weekly basis the subject of communication has been constantly present, even on a very subtle level.”

“I found the course to be very relevant and applicable to the work that I do in restorative justice and mediation.”

““In the beginning I just did this course for professional reasons but during the course I realized it really is something which brings me personally to corners within myself that I never would have looked at.... The good thing in this course is that you have others with whom you can share what you experienced and this is so helpful. You get so much input, support, encouragement from others which is not easy to get in other courses.”

"While I came for the professional skills, I’m seeing big changes to my personal life as well.”

Reviews of The Five Keys to Mindful Communication

In a clear and at times humorous style this encouraging book gives our heart the green light to open. Susan Chapman presents accessible practices from Buddhism and the best in psychology to help this happen.

This is an invaluable resource for anyone who longs for connection with others. Susan Chapman’s simple explanations and engaging stories provide us with practical tools that let us recognize our shared humanity, moving us from a ‘me-first’ approach to a ‘we-first’ one.

Anyone who seeks meaningful, effective connections with others personally and professionally will find much to practice and reflect upon in this book.

Given the lack of conversations in a culture fast becoming more and more obsessed with texting and emails, this is a very timely book which paves the way for a more hopeful future.

The Five Keys to Mindful Communication is a strongly recommended read, not to be overlooked.

The ideas in this book will open the door for tremendous self-healing even before they are applied to communication with others. Change begins with the conversations we have with ourselves. This book begins there and then shows us how to apply what we’ve learned to every other aspect of our lives.

Gregory Heffron MFA Executive Director, Lead Teacher

Greg is the Executive Director of the Green Zone Institute and teaches Mindful Communication throughout North America and Europe.

“Through the years, I have been privileged to witness how effective Mindful Communication is — whether I’m teaching basic mindfulness to newcomers, or diving deep with advanced meditators and those in the helping professions. Everyone benefits.“

In addition to an array of introductory courses, Greg has developed and teaches Green Zone Institute’s Advanced Certification and Teacher Training courses across three continents, and in countries with cultures as diverse as Ukraine, Canada, Austria, Chile, United States, Switzerland, Poland and Holland.

“For me, it has been humbling and inspiring teaching across cultures, feeling each person’s uniqueness and our shared humanity. Regardless of who we are, we ALL struggle with disconnection, and we ALL long to feel connected.“

“In my own life, I have experienced a groundswell in my capacity to navigate life’s communication challenges, and feel more and more connected to myself — and to humanity as a whole.”
