with Michael Sheely

We aspire to be loving, generous and peaceful with others, and yet sometimes our day-to-day relationships are tinged with judgement, defensiveness or getting caught up in who is right.

It can feel challenging to live our spiritual values when others around us are not doing the same. In a culture that values the individual, how can our interconnectedness find voice in our interactions? 

Empathy, the ability to understand and try on the perspectives, feelings and values of another, is a tool that requires us to dissolve the separation that individualism requires. Empathy is how we find each other, as the Persian poet Rumi says, in “the field beyond right and wrong.”

How we speak, and deeper still, how we think and frame reality, is fundamental to a life of spiritual integrity.

Join relationship coach Michael Sheely for this 3-hour workshop exploring how human beings can connect across differences and find love, compassion and acceptance in even the most challenging of relationships. We will discover how to tend to what is most precious to us while remaining respectful of what is precious to others.
