Meditation + Talk: Speaking Wisely – Even If Others Aren’t
December 21, 2024

Do you ever feel stuck in difficult conversations, struggling to be heard, or finding it hard to navigate dynamics where you’re not seen or valued?

If so, you’re not alone.

This talk explores the profound interplay between mindfulness, relationships, and communication, offering practical tools to handle challenges with grace and clarity.

Drawing on Buddhist teachings, modern psychology, and real-life examples in this talk, Rick offers actionable insights to:

  • Recognize and work with difficult relational patterns.
  • Stay grounded and clear in interactions, even when faced with conflict or power imbalances.
  • Cultivate openness and curiosity to foster deeper understanding and connection.

Whether you’re managing strained relationships, looking to communicate more effectively, or simply want to feel like you matter in your connections, this session provides actionable insights to bring more ease and harmony to your interactions.

And if you like, you may wish to participate in the age-old tradition of generosity through making an offering yourself – called “dāna” – to support Rick and the Wednesday Meditations. Generosity itself is a beautiful practice that opens and gladdens the heart, relaxes the contraction of “self,” and ripples out into the world to touch many people – and perhaps, eventually, even oneself.
