In an open, reflective environment, the course provides opportunities to enhance:

empathy and sensitivity
interpersonal social skills
leadership qualities
conflict managament
understanding of group-dynamics
self-knowledge

Communication courses of this kind have been developed in Scandinavia since 1970 by medical doctors and psychologists with an interest in Acem Meditation and self-understanding. The training is now also available to English-speaking participants, provided that a sufficient number register.

The communication course is a personal growth experience, the benefits of which will be felt in one's professional and private life. Each communication group has 6-9 participants and 1-2 leaders. The open and reflective atmosphere of the group provides an ideal setting for the exploration of your own personality and the way you interact with others.
