Step 2: Introduction

The facilitator tells the participants about the objective of the training and sets up ground rules, then introduces the mindfulness trainer.  

An example introduction: 

The objective of this training is to invite you to practice radical compassion for yourself and others through a meditative, mindfulness method. 

I would like to set two ground rules to nurture an open-minded environment for all.   

1. Keep your attention to yourself. We might be here with a group, but this training is for you. Turn inward and allow yourself to be in the moment. 
2. The facilitator will respond to unproductive and disrespectful behavior or comments.
