As mentioned before, the Awareness in Mind: Mindfulness and Compassionate Communication Course that we are proposing is to be utilized at your school as a Pilot Project. The AIM Curriculum combines non-violent communication with mindfulness training as a way to help empower students to communicate interpersonally, utilizing capacities such as self-awareness, empathy, peace/selfcontrol, self-esteem, etc. The following are five of the main goals of this course:

To explore how awareness of one’s inner state can translate to more skillful and effective means of navigating the world and relationships with other people.

To use the experience of practicing Anapana to create a framework for understanding the mind and its various states.

To explore the challenges of real-world communication and develop methods for remaining present and connected to the life in ourselves and others.

To develop skillfulness in empathic listening, including listening behind judgments to what is alive inside a person in pain

To empower one to distinguish between how to respond to life situations when they are “triggered” or in emotional pain versus how to navigate life when they are centered and self-connected—thus teaching them the value of connection versus violent provocation in interpersonal communication.
