WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:
This workshop will interweave theory, practice, and research into the development of integrated skills of mind, body, and spirit that contribute to being able to transcend specific cultural paradigms to see/hold that which encompasses a more connected, more inclusive and unified view, a worldcentric level of consciousness.

Practitioners will begin to develop these skills in themselves and explore ways to apply this approach to their own work in the field of intercultural communication. A variety of methodologies and modalities will be used.

Participants should wear comfortable clothes and come prepared to experiment.
