Cross Cultural Communication and Diversity
Our attention is always somewhere. Communication is redundant, we are always communicating in one way or another through our pictures, what we hear, our feelings about ourselves or others. I once heard a native elder say ~ You talk to a tree like a tree... not like a bear or a deer but like a tree. ~ We will take a look at different levels of communication through our environment, behaviors/capabilities, beliefs/values, identity and spirit. How do you communicate? Is it working? Lets explore.
