Is It Possible to Save the World
Without Losing Your Mind?
Or Losing Heart?
This short, accessible course addresses your overwhelm, frustration and burnout when trying to be a compassionate human in “a world on fire.”
In just two hours, we will introduce you to different ways to work with the overwhelm — and even demoralization — we often feel when we just don’t know how to be helpful anymore…
But It’s All Too Much!
Of course. We all feel that way.
Between the environment, politics, social discord, cultural fractures, economic chaos… Not to mention trying to help even one other person in our personal or professional life…
It can all feel beyond our abilities.
Half of this is Real. Half Isn’t.
It’s often the case that even ‘highly trained,’ educated and dedicated people approach trying to help from the wrong direction. And this leads to Helper Burnout.
This straightforward and practical course uses the approach presented in The Five Keys to Mindful Communication. Retired Marriage and Family Therapist and senior Buddhist teacher Susan Gillis Chapman developed this unique material by combining traditional wisdom teachings from Tibet and India with a modern Western psychological orientation towards relationship, intimacy and community.
When You Think There’s Nothing You Can Do… There’s Still Something You Can Do
This deep-but-simple method — which applies especially when we’re trying to be of help to others — can allow you to more quickly and easily manage your overwhelm with changing emotional dynamics. It will give you an understanding of how your own mindfulness is the foundation for more truthful, compassionate, and flexible relationships with those you’re working with — and those you’re helping.
And that means you can be both:
- more effective
- and more helpful

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.

In this sample clip from a live webinar, teacher Greg Heffron uses one of the core models you’ll encounter in this Reset Weekend.
In this course you will learn
- How to uncover the unconscious fears that often sabotage your confidence and effectiveness;
- How to build a strategy to anticipate and intervene during overwhelm;
- How to consciously identify when your connection with someone you’re helping is breaking down — and how to assess what to do next;
- The hidden skill in the midst of difficult situations that allows you to respond more confidently and skillfully;
- A path towards being “an unstoppable force for good” — which will allow you to navigate painful and challenging situations without breaking down and burning out.

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.

“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.”
